started on Apple II, was Amiga fanboy from '85 to '95, but started Windoze with 3.1. Retired building contractor; lifelong student of esoterica, inner travel and spelunker with various nootropic supplements; now crabbed and wizened philosopher gazing bemusedly out at the world and passing zombies moving slowly up the Ladder of Awakening...as i did too. Favorite area of interest is the Electric Universe (a variant of Plasma universe model) which keeps scoring hits while the lamestream gravity-based, black hole dark matter kludge continues to be surprised at new discoveries.
