I just want to say hello and introduce myself. I'm a freshman at Virginia Tech majoring in computer engineering. My first computer was Mac Performa, so I'm a mac person mostly. I have a Dell inspiron now as my main computer because school required a PC for engineers. This laptop is my first real PC, so I'm still relatively new to Windows although I built some older (pentium IIs) computers for a home office that have Win2k loaded on it. I think all the operating systems, mac, pc, linux, are all good in their own way and have their own quirks. (I have given up the arguement of which OS is better...) Programming language wise, I can learn just about any language if I have enough sample code. So far I taught myself Basic, RealBasic, VisualBasic, qBasic (my favorite ), C++, Perl, and right now learning to make batch files. I hope to answer as many questions as I ask, so anyone feel free to ask me anything.
