I took a computer course in high school way back in 1968.  Have been hooked on data and the machines/software that handles it ever since.  Looking back to where I'm at now and all the things that led to the present, I've got to be the luckiest man in the world... although I hate the fact that I got a text message w/audible alert at 5:15AM this morning from a new paging system that my boss put in place yesterday for program faults that I can't actually do anything about.  Being Valentines Day and all, I may have to deliver a couple of heart shaped pork chops to help him come to a more accurate distribution list.
