A totally self-taught computer amateur, still learning new things every day.  Almost 40 years ago, I took COBOL and Fortran courses in graduate school.  That training is pretty much irrelevant now, but perhaps they taught me to think in algorithms.  I never imagined that building a web site would be possible.  I also enjoy building Access data base projects and Visual Basic programming.  I get a kick out of getting machines to do work.
