Started using Poser about 3 years ago. Started programming in machine code in 1964, when I was 14 (I am 53, soon to be 54). Started teaching myself 3D graphics in 1968 when I was working at Control Data (as a college student). My first computer was in 1974, a Bally Z80 game console that had a Tiny Basic cartidge. I still have that, plus my TRS-80 Model I, Commodore Vic 20 and 64, Atari 600, 800, and 1040 ST systems. Currently working on my third PC system. I actually work as a software engineer, so I have never had a chance to stop learning. I actually get paid for what I love to do!!
