About Me

I am a retired middle school teacher and have seen the impact advances in technology has had on the way we live.  The "Computer Literacy" class I taught used Apple IIe computers with 8-inch floppy disks.  It was exciting when we advanced to more complex machines with 3.5-inch disks, and even more so, when we were able to save to the network.

Our first digital camera was an Apple QuickTake. The images were not high quality, but it still seemed a miracle that a picture didn't have to be processed in a darkroom somewhere.  At the time, everyone did not have a computer at home, so having access to technology in the classroom was a novelty.  It was a joy to introduce students to the ever-expanding world of technology.

Since retiring, I travel as much as possible.   I still enjoy learning new things - especially if it involves technology.  Fortunately, I have been able to use my computer knowledge for various projects. Life is good!
