I've been programming, my vocation and avocation, since 1974 when I started out on IBM 360 using PL/1. I've since programmed in Cobol, Fortran, C, Turbo Pascal, Basic (many variations), and PowerShell (my current obsession). I purchased one of the first TRS-80 Model 1's in 1979 and went to town on the personal computer revolution. I've owned an Osborne 1, IBM PC AT (also one of the first), I've only built one one PC an IBM PC clone, but altered many. Currently I have Windows 10 on a Dell XPS 8920, XPS 8700, Inspiron 1564 Laptop, Inspiron 137000 Laptop, and Dell 530 running Linux Mint. No Spinners! I've used and programmed (macros) productivity tools including: Vis-a-Calc, SuperCalc, Lotus 123, Excel (my fav just love VBA), dBase, Reflex, Quattro, GoldenGate, Access, Word Perfect, Word, PowerPoint, etc. I also worked with main-frame products CMS-Exec, Rexx, JCL, RAMIS, Nomad.
