I started programming on a zx81 in 1981 bought in Hong Kong complete with tape recorder and 16 kb expansion pack for 650 hk $
I was a trainee on a huge maersk container ship - my plan was to be an engineer maintaining ship diesels but got hooked on computers, so i changed direction to computers, but now i go back to the basics :-) For the record : as a motorman i will be maintaining all mechanical parts on the rig, as well as being man over board boat captain, and also take of the role as helicopter landing officer :-) I will prolly continue to do fun programming on my laptop with UniVerse PE - one of the pleasures of being on an oil rig is the schedule : 2 weeks offshore 3 weeks on shore at home :-) best regards from 'Soaking wet' denmark Claus Derlien > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Johnson > Sent: Monday, October 23, 2006 2:40 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [U2] [OT] goodbye to the list(s) > > Good luck.
