Hello one and all. My name is Bob from the Houston, TX area.
From January 1975 to February 1977 I attended DeVry Institute of Technology in Dallas, Texas then worked 11 years on the Space Shuttle Flight Simulator at NASA JSC in Houston. About 9 years into that job I made the jump to the "dark side" of software development working first in operating system internals, then left and joined Concurrent Computer Corporation as a field analyst for 18 years. I now work at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston as a software developer.
At this point in my life, I find that I am missing something..... electronics. Most of my work at NASA was in digital systems: Computers, signal conversion equipment, various hardware interfaces and such.
What I am longing to get back to... is communications and particularly tube guitar amps. Back in the day, I fixed a CB or two for other people.... I still have a few that I would like to go through and renovate to make them usable again. Guitar amps... I'd love to fix them, design them... just "have a ball".
So while I have a decent background.... I am misging a lot of practical experience and that is what I am seeking to remedy now!!!
