Then please be welcomed to a pretty small list as we count 'em here. :)

I do assembly, some Basic09 & some C, but java wasn't something I figured 
I'd ever need on the coco.  My fault no doubt, but at the time, I was still 
running a mid market TV stations engineering dept. singlehandedly which 
occupied a considerable amount of time since nothing broken went out for 
repairs, not even camera lenses.

Nowadays, short term memory gets in the way.  Most of the stuff I cobble up 
to do the AH&E work on linux is now written as bash scripts.

Cheers, Gene
