Well, it's been 16 years for me, and I haven't done much in the field
since, too many real life distractions.

I started to take a course in BASIC programming, using the II+. I had to
drop the course (too many costs, too many uses for too few dollars, like
the four children demanding food three times a day :-)

Then, in `93 I got a IIe, Profile HD, 2 Disk IIs, a ton of software, Apple
DMP, manuals, etc, as well as the Beagle Bros Big Tip book for $50 from our
local Police force. I gave this to my sons to play with, and my elder boy
took to programming like a fish to water. I took to it like rock ;-)

Since then, I've managed to collect too many II+s, one B&H with B&H Disk
IIs, a several IIes (including 2 platinum IIes) a Woz IIGS, a ROM 03 in a
Woz case, about 400 disks, 8' of shelf space full of programs, 15' of
books, and 24' of II mags. Needless to say, my wife isn't too pleased with
me at times, and a member of our local club keeps telling me, "You have too
many toys." What do you think?
