I've been a chessplayer for about 57 years now. I'm not very good, but I have fun anyway.
I'm a family man. I have 8 living children and 22 grandchildren. One great grandson.
I'm a computer programmer with experience in Visual Basic, C#, SQL Server, Sharepoint and others.
I'm an avid reader on a variety of subjects. I use e-books as well as real books.
Although most of my computer experience is Windows, I've tinkered with Linux.
I've had a MacBook Air for about two years now. I like it, although I still prefer my Windows desktop for most things. I guess I prefer three monitors and more RAM on the desktop to the two monitors and only 16 GB RAM on the Mac.
If ever I offend you, let's try to work out the problem before things get out of hand.
