First of all I'm beyond advanced middle age. I define advanced middle age as anything up to 79. I'm just getting back to computers and programming after quite a while. I taught computer science at Cal Poly and retired in the fall of 2000. My favorite course to teach was "C and Unix". I'm looking forward to getting back into that again. Personal: I'm married (58 years). My two son's have given me four grandkids,two boys and two girls. My main hobby is racing sail boats. Although I've raced in a number of different types of boats, my favorites are the Lido 14 and the Rhodes 33. I'm looking forward to interacting in this OS and hope to be able to be of some service.
