what about the background...
Oops, sorry, Honestly I didn't see that part.. rats, sorry I got hooked into programming when I was 13 and built my first computer (Timex Sinclair ZX-81) kit. Got hooked being able to tell the computer what I wanted it to do and never looked back. I was a hardware geek originally (built a few analog computers and mechanical adders) that soon saw the light that more and more was going to be done in (cheaper) software level components and just decided that was the best direction to go. Loved it ever since.
