I'm a computer scientist by profession, although I now teach computer science at the University level, rather than programming for a living. I am an amateur radio operator (KB8OJH) and a retro and vintage computing enthusiast. I prefer tube-type radios and the older the computer, the better, although I find it difficult to love the most constrained, consumer-cheap microcomputers. Minicomputers and terminals are some of my favorite machines, and I love the short-lived 16-bit (non-PC) era.
