Scott -

SG>My name is Scott Gumble.  I'm 17 and live in Tucson, Arizona.
        Uggghhh...I start raving and screaming when the temp get's above
75 degrees.  Even Montana is too hot...next stop, Calgary.

SG>Right now, I'm visiting my dad in Albuquerque, New Mexico.  I'm a
SG>beta tester for Central Point Software.  As a beta tester, I get
        WOW!  Sounds like a lot of fun.

SG>also a computer/software consultant for a University of Arizona
SG>math program called PRISM.  I help teachers in schools set up their
SG>compters and software.
        Wish I could do things like that.  As it is, I just USE...such a
waste of a good computer, when I could be programming or otherwise
hacking.


SG>My hobby is programming (in Microsoft's BASIC Professional
SG>Development System, Microsoft VisualBASIC for Windows, and a little
SG>in Borland Turbo C++).  I love to watch movies, anything from
SG>Driving Miss Daisy to Terminator II.  I don't usually like horror
SG>movies.  I like most kinds of music, as long as it's understandable
SG>(I get bored real quick listening to hard rock).  I love
SG>soundtracks because they don't have many words and the music can be
SG>pretty interesting sometimes.
        I've never been very good at self-teaching programming.  I got a
copy of TASM 1.0, MS QuickC 1.0, and a nice word processor from Borland
called Sprint...all for 50 bucks, used but quite new.  I couldn't pass
up the deal.  But even the Borland manuals (Borland rules!) make
Assembler seem like Korean.  And of course, Microsoft couldn't write
their way out of their own debugging software.  The manuals are trash.
But I'm still working...I LIKE the idea of what C and assembler can do
for me...hehehehe.

SG>Hmm...  What else...  Next year, I'll be a senior at Sabino High
SG>School (in Tucson, AZ).  I'm going to be "acting supervisor" of the
SG>IBM lab network (Novell NetWare) because the teacher from last year
SG>won't be there.  The new teacher(s) don't know anything about
SG>networks, they're used to the XT's with no hard drives (uug, yuk,
SG>bleah).
        Hmmm...we just got two networks last year...one for WordPerfect
(LITTLE screens) and one for a math lab.  The software on the math-lab
is horrible mickey mouse.  CGA!!! graphics and no power.  Of course, the
school bought pure IBM, and paid to have the LANS isntalled for
them...IDIOTS IDIOTS IDIOTS.  And then they just WASTE the power
(ehhh...we ARE talking about PS/2s) on wordperfect and a little graphing
program.  The teacher who runs it (we didn't know for sure, but there
was really only one math teacher who knows about computers) had
miserable security.  When the teach turned his back, my friend and I
typed in the supervisor's last name as an ID, and then the password he
used on one of the school's BBS's.  Got in on the second try (made a
type the first time).  These guys are just IDIOTS.


SG>just DON'T call me a trekkie!!
        Hmmm...you should wear the title with pride!  :->
