> Two years of college, plus some classes toward getting a bachelor's degree, which I had to abandon because of business and personal time constraints. I also had the well-founded belief that I had been using computers longer than some of my instructors in a real world environment, and knew more than they. > I have worked in and managed bookstores and shoe stores, as well as other retail establishments. > I have been in the computer business, specifically installing and supporting accounting software, since 1981. I have quite a bit of experience in the computer and software field overall, including SCO Unix, Linux and Windows operating systems, and a smattering of many other operating systems. I have worked with a number of different accounting software, inventory control and point-of-sale software packages. > I previously had experience with Radio Shack, starting with the TRS-80 Model III, and thus substantial experience at that time with TRS-DOS and PC-DOS. I also have experience with computer hardware and repair. > I have been self-employed sin 1989, and have acquired some experience on owning and operating a self-employed small business. > Generally I read a lot, although not as much as I would like, and have general life experiences and knowledge. >
