That's me.

Plus I'm self-taught (google university and a few books). When I took electronics in college, they had the data option and the communications option. The guidance counselor advised me to take the communications option as there were few jobs in computing. At that time the computer was housed in a huge, refrigerated building with dumb terminals spread out over the campus.

The kids today grow up with these things and know more about them that I probably ever will.

Still, I know how to stay safe, write HTML code, make BiaB styles, record MIDI and audio, plus dozens of other apps, but when it comes time to raise the hood, I only have basic understanding of it. I know about power supplies, vacuum tubes, transistors, resistors, capacitors, ohms law, and all those things AC and DC theory taught me, but when it comes to the data part, my knowledge is limited, sometimes just enough to be dangerous to myself.
