Mid-70's in college I thrived on Programming classes (inspite of punch cards). Alas ... I saw no future in Programming (or Mathematics; my other love) and elected an Engineeing (Nuke) degree instead.

Never lost my love for the binary languages. But only get play some WORD VBS/Macro, a once-in-a-while MS.Access Project, and some Excel pivot tables on occasion. Always looking for the better mousetrap when time/opportunity permits.
