My name is Leigh Bassett and I live in Maryland. I'm a retired engineer and engineering manager. Many years doing both hardware and software design of microprocessor-based systems, primarily in data communications and control systems. Lots of real-time stuff. I got into computer programming in 1960, and begain working with micros when the 8080 was introduced (?1974?). I started working with personal computers with the Altair 8800, ten years before the IBM PC was designed. I probably had the first Altair in the state. Languages include Fortran (not recently), assembler (on almost every micro ever made), and ANSI C. I don't do C++, C--, C sharp, C flat or other variants thereof ;-) So I think I qualify as an old timer. Now that I'm retired I have plenty of time available to screw up other peoples' projects ;-) Hope I can help. I look forward to working with all of you. Best regards. Leigh
