Computer Skills

I was introduced to computers in college using punch cards to run FORTRAN programs.  I used my TI-56 programmable calculator to check my computer programs.  I developed a FORTRAN subroutine to graph mathematical equations on a line printer.   In 1979, I had my first experience with direct keyboard access and storage on an 8" floppy disk.  

I was one of the first engineering officers in the Air Force to have a stand-alone PC (1985).  It was a Wang PC with 64K ram and a 20MB hard drive.  I used a PC word processing program and Microsoft Multiplan to manage energy programs at multiple locations.  

I am excited about the capabilities of modern application software.  Considering I used a slide rule in college in 1970, computing and calculating accurately has become easy.

It is easy to find shortfalls with of-the-shelf applications software, but I prefer to explore and maximize use of existing features.  The main reason I use spread sheet software for program management is that most everyone has it.  Also notable is the portability into other applications.
