Computer Skills
I was introduced to computers in college using punch cards to run FORTRAN programs. I used my 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 almost everyone has it. Also notable is its portability into other applications.
