In 1986 I bought my first PC - AT&T 8086, dual floppy drives, no hard drive, green tone monitor. I was going to write a book! Not only was I terrible at it, I hated doing it! Began to play with programming and games - Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was my first - and no, I couldn't finish it. Went to computer school, became an IBM 360 Assembler/Cobol programmer. Taught one semester at the school, then worked at an insurance company programming, first on mainframe, then PC for 3 years. This was when Windows 3.1 came out. Hated working with a mouse, preferred using DOS - was still playing DOS games at home - Hugo's, several others.

Got online in '98, played online games, met a guy I later moved in with here in Florida (came from Boston). In 2001, bought Beyond Atlantis - fell in love with Adv games, roomy bought me TLJ, and taught me about consoles. We got a Dreamcast and PS1, later an Xbox and PS2. Currently have a broken XP and an old win98se, and over 140 adv games.
