Java not javascript!

Just showing my ignorance. I could not tell you the difference.

I was first exposed to computing in the 60's. I was a Navy FT (fire control technician...aiming guns, not extinguishing fires). We had a Mk 1A analog computer.

After Navy, I was electronically interested, but too involved making money. I played with a Timex-Sinclair 64, and learned a little Basic. I graduated to a Commodore 64, and a 128 (64 was much better). I bought an Amiga, and when Mac was introduced, I waited... for 4 months.

I was convinced when I looked at IBM and AutoCad. I would have had to put my life on hold for a month of schooling on AutoCad (and that c> thing), but opted for a FatMac with a 5 megabyte Internal Hard Drive. I bought a 9-pin ImageWriter, which was replaced with a $4000 LaserWriter (1986).

I have had my share of Macs, but NO PC's. The closest, was using my brothers Windoze machine, on vacation at his place. I had trouble with the poor emulation they did, of the Mac environment.

I don't claim to know about computing. I just use the thing to do what I have to do...
