I have been a PC junkie since grade school introduced me to the Apple IIe in the 3rd grade. I have played a lot of games in my lifetime on consoles and PCs (Atari 2600, Odessy, Coleco, Intellivision, NES, SuperNES, Nintendo 64, PlayStation, & XBOX)
My first IBM PC was an 8088. I build/repair PCs, Web Design, some graphics design, and learned how to program in VB.NET, C++, and Java last year. My current job has me supporting County Assessors with software that we design/test/install/support along with document imaging. I use a lot of XML/XSLT in creating reports for the Assessors.
I am 32 years old and I have 6 children with one on the way, so I find time to play single player games and I rarely play anything multiplayer on the Net as I rarely have the time to fully invest myself without distractions.
I found the forum recently when I was searching for something regarding CivIII, with all my past experience with games I never got into Civ until last month I bought CivIII complete and I was hooked (I need to visit CivAnon.org, I think that is my daughter in the ad in GameInformer mag). I had no idea that Civ IV wa on its way until then.
Thanks for the great community all!
