So, I was reading through my daily blog list (I am still not a big RSS fan) and noticed that Jayson, as is popular right now, wrote his "Five Things You Didn't Know About Me" and...tagged me at the end, which I assume means I have to go next!!

I never really thought about this before, so there is no telling how this is going to come out.

1. My first computer was a Commodore 64, complete with the sweet .98 mhz processor and super deluxe tape drive. Though a floppy frive was soon to follow. This was when I was 12 years old.

2. I didn't have alot of money in my teen age years, so when I decided that maybe IBM wasn't the evil and I wanted a PC, I built one myself. I used an Intel Compatible clone chip called the NEC V20 that ran at 12 mhz. I had to skimp on the case (cases were $100+) so I built it in a cardboard box that was shaped like a case and painted white. I was ~16 at this time.

3. I fell out of touch with computers for awhile, even though I am programmer now, I just got into computers as a career after turning 30. I went straight from making Basic programs with line numbers (10 Print "Hello" 20 Goto 10) to writing in C#. Initially trying to grasp the event driven model almost broke my little brain.

4. Like Jayson, I had hair down past my shoulders until I was 20. My hair is now short enough that any shorter and it would be shaved.

Well, it looks like I lied. There really isn't a number 5, I just don't have that many interesting things about Bob. If I think of something else, I will add it. I am also going to decline to "tag" anyone, since I really don't know all that many other bloggers.
