In Closing
I was a hobbyist electronics and vb6 programmer through school and college and did about 5 projects in my final year alone. We learnt vb6 back in the days before Google and before .Net just pouring our wits into the Integrated Development Environment.
On a personal note, I'm an optimist, creative writer, poet and at 40, am just bubbling with ideas for the workplace and the extended work and societal families.
