<blockquote>I am originally self taught. I started with a VIC20, when everyone else was migrating to 64. I learned a lot about not wasting space, which tends to limit what I can program now. You'd think that having 512mb would remove these barriers, but habits are hard to break.
I traversed through C64, C128 and Amiga. Then I found Dos3, then windows 3.0. I taught myself to repair Windows by trying to find ways to make it blow up. I have been A+ for 14 years, and MCP Windows Desktop 10 years.

Can I worship you?
I started on an Apple//c in the late nineties, learned BASIC and assembly, got a second hand 386 and started learning C. For a while, I had so customized Win3.11 that one could say it was skinned (all embedded bitmaps and cursors).
Went to some crappy 18-month tech school that took my money and didn't teach me anything I didn't learn on-line the week before. Got a copy of Debian Linux from a classmate and fell in love. (With Linux, not the classmate.)
After that, I've been screwing around with C, ECMAScript, PostScript, and Dink on Win32 because my Linux box is still a third-hand 486 a teacher gave me when my 386 blew up.
Also: While you were on the C64, did you ever play a game called Planet of the Robots?
