Hi, I'm John.

I'm an old school geek (from back before it was cool) and country boy.

I hand-reared a calf and sold it to buy a C64 with a tape drive.

I am currently learning assembly on the X16 emulator.

Me too! Nice to meet you John. I grew up in rural northeast Texas. Little country school (I graduated from a class of 16 students). I had to take vocational agriculture just to have enough credits to graduate high school. My project was rabbits, not a calf, and I never made enough money at it to buy anything. My first "contract" for programming was to write a little livestock show management application, so we could type all the information for all the entries into a Commodore PET and it would do the heavy lifting of sorting and printing forms for all the judges and other officials.

Welcome!
