BS in EE minor in Applied Physics. various support or development positions with Nortel, ICL, EDS, Siemens and contracts with JP Morgan, Sybase, Royal Sun, Sun Microsystems The only skill I acquired during formal training that has served me over the years (I'm 59) was touch typing which I was taught in high school when I was 17. All other skills are either a) out of date and/or not useful in today's computing environments b) self taught/acquired on the job -- People choose Microsoft Windows for their PC in the same manner that the citizens of Soviet Russia elected the General Secretary of the Communist Party during the cold war. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
