Studied CSCI at a university I won't name, but learned most of what I know from blood, sweat, tears, and ocassional cursing at the #@ thing. Database developer and administrator for several clients, and by golly I still use and prefer Lotus Approach. I'm moving in the direction of MySQL, SQL Server and the like, and web-based databases. I've discovered Linux in the past three years or so, and really like some of the stuff they do over there. My current distro is Mint after Kubuntu for at least a couple of years. Heaven forbid, I've had to learn to use a command line.
