Ah, the happy early days of the web... I had a personal website back
in '94 I think, then set up a (one-man) consulting company in '95. The
Wayback Machine shows this late-'96 version of my company site:

Yea, but... did you write you code on keypunch machines (and then proceed to
drop the box!). What awful memories.

What was worse was if you had a misplaced semi-colon, or of your 2000 cards of
data, one was mispunched, and you did not know which one...
such are the memories that
I seem to remember a nightmare about a semicolon in column 71 instead of column
72. Which caused me to develop my social engineering and hacking skills to get
a terminal account as a freshman.

I got my first computer when I was 9... started programming in
Commodore ROM-BASIC almost immediately and wrote a fully interactive
(albeit text-based) math game by 10. We upgraded from a cassette deck
to a Commodore 1541 single-sided 128k 5.25 floppy drive. It was cool,
because you could take a
CF-Community for this one please ;-)
I'm not sure years of experience is the best guage of skill...I'd lean more
towards scale and complexity of projects worked on may be a better indicator
(and even harder to put in any kind of standard terms).

Will, you are standing at the starting line of an amazing, wonderful race

you guys!
