Welcome Douglas! I knew exactly where Fairless Hills is located. I hope to meet you at the next repair workshop. On Mon, Jul 29, 2019 at 4:44 PM Douglas Perry via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
As a new member to the group I was told I should take a minute and introduce myself.
My name is Doug and although my heart will always be with New Jersey I currently reside in Fairless Hills, PA.
I found this group while researching parts for a Compaq Portable 1. It was the first computer I ever saw code on (at 8 years old) and I honestly had thought it had been sold in a yard sale many years ago.
I quickly read about VCF and was disappointed to see that I missed this years amazing lecture with Ken Thompson (which I immediately watched online).
My background in computers is a bit scattered but my education is in Software Engineering. Currently, I help maintain and develop a rather extensive Filemaker database.
I look forward to getting down to visit the museum and I'm very interested in signing up for the next repair workshop.
Pleased to meet you all, Doug P.
