Introduce Yourself

I'm Michael, 46, from Detroit, father of 4 daughters, the twins, Rosemary and Sharonda are 20, Shanti' is 23 and Nicole 24. I work as a Project Manager for a very large law fim in Detroit. I started out working for Burroughs Corp (Unisys now) back in '77 as a mainframe operator - IBM 360/30 - later moving up to programming - assembler, cobol, fortran and rpg 3 - before switching over to PC's in '93. My first PC was a Heathkit that I paid $700 for back in '77, and s the name implies you had to assemble it, including everything on the board(wasn't very good then at soldering, so I was surprised it actually worked). My first "modern" PC was a Tandy Sensation (which happened to be the last PC I bought as I build my own now). My current rig is:

AMD Athlon XP 2200+
Gigabyte 7VRXP
1.5 GB DDR PC2700
1 IBM 30GB HDD
1 WD 120GB Special Editions in a RAID 0
GeForce FX 5950 Ultra
Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro
Lian Li PC 60 case
Minolta PagePro 1350W Laser printer
Epson Stylus R800

My laptop is an IBM X40
1.2 Ghz Centrino
40GB HDD
12.1" XGA display
WiFi a/b/g
Ultrabay
Combo drive
7hr extended life battery
A light 2.5lbs and .5" thick
 
Heathkits. I know them well. Built a few Ham receivers and transmitters in my younger days. Part of the learning experience when I was studying to get my Amatuer Radio and class A licenses.
