Born in Anderson, Indiana in 1949... moved to Albuquerque, NM when I was 1 year old, so I consider myself a native New Mexican. Went to school 1955-1967 in Albuquerque. Discovered electronics when I was 8 years old (1957 - the IGY year). Graduated Manzano HS 1967, NMSU 1977. Have worked steadily since 1965. but have been unable to find work since 2004, so I guess I'm retired whether I like it or not.
All of my friends have moved away and I find myself with no friends of my age group. I miss chatting and rapping about world problems, sharing interests, etc. Where have all the Boomers gone??
I fist started using ARPA Net in 1969, and have used the Internet ever since. Discovered the WWW in 1993, and by 1995 had a number of websites online (some still are). I enjoy the web very much.
I have travelled extensively in the US. I have visited about 40 states. I've also been to Canada, Mexico and Austria.
I have lived in Las Cruces, NM since I started NMSU in 1967. I have moved away several times, but have always returned quickly. I guess I like it here?
I used to love hiking and camping, but I just don't do that anymore. I spend most of my waking hours working on the yard and playing with my computers.
I love to laugh!! And I love playing with words.
I have one daughter and two grandchildren (granddaughter is 10, grandson is 7).
One of these days I want to move to some remote island and live on the beach.
Hasta la vista!
Jim
