Instructor of Instrumentation and Control Technology at Bellingham Technical College since 1998.
Author of "Socratic Electronics" and "Socratic Instrumentation" worksheet series. These are designed to be used in an inverted classroom teaching format where students first encounter new material studying outside of class, then class time is spent in Socratic discussion with instructor and other students.

My first computer was an Ohio Scientific "Superboard" with Motorola 6502 microprocessor, 2 k bytes of static RAM (you could fry a small cat with the heat put out by that "large" static RAM bank!), and BASIC-in-ROM as the only "operating system". File storage was on cassette tape. A black-and-white television was the monitor. No sound.
Next was an Apple II+. Same processor, more RAM, two 5-1/4" floppy disk drives.
Next was a 386 laptop PC.
In 1996 I discovered Linux and never looked back . . .
