I suspect the person who tagged me will pester me until the end of time if I don't play, so here we go [five things about me relatively few people know]:
1. I grew up in Grand Forks, North Dakota
2. I got started in software during 1979 when I came to terms with the fact that I'd probably starve as an English major
3. My first PC was a Kaypro and I suspect I'd still be more productive in CP/M Wordstar than Microsoft Word, if I could tolerate floppy drive speeds (I also had a Televideo terminal and "high speed" modem going back to 1980 or so)
4. I am a recovering COBOL programmer -- got started in COBOL and network DBMS work out of college and can probably still type the word PERFORM faster than I can type my own first name
5. I think logical data modeling is the path to enlightenment [wait; anybody who has talked with me for more than 3 minutes already knows that...]
Now it's my turn to annoy five other people:
