Well, like a typical New Yorker, I just barged right into the forum and started posting on other threads before I introduced myself. Actually, I just didn't see the intro area. I'm not originally from New York, so I'm usually fairly polite. At least by local standards.
For the new year, I decided I should do something fun. Learning more about vintage computers and beginning a collection is what I came up with.
I'm a former programmer who became tired of learning new languages. I stopped after C++. I've just taken off a couple of years to get an M.S., which I completed a few weeks ago. Now I guess I'll have to go back to work. No wonder I needed a new hobby to cheer me up.
I'm not really a "hardware" person in that I'm not an engineer, but I do have fond memories of disassembling, reassembling, upgrading, repairing, and generally tinkering with an awful lot of towers and boxes over the years. I have a weakness for things in big putty-colored metal cases.
This seems like a nice community with a lot of very knowledgeable people, and I'm looking forward to getting to know you.
