[edit] Auto-Biography
Games are where my career in computers started. I had an old Apple IIC that my brother and I broke several keys on the keyboard playing Olympic Decathlon(sorry Mom!). This was a start but computers were still a passive interest until a family friend of ours gave us a 286. I was just impressed when he did not have to put a disk in the drive when he turned it on. Then he sent me Wing Commander and the rest is history. I love what I do!
