Dragan Nedeljkovich, Now officially retiredAfter (and/or along with) playing with Sinclair ZX Spectrum and Atari ST, I left teaching in 1986 and went through a series of machines and operating systems: CP/M (Cobol, Turbo pascal, CB-80 Basic), PDP and VAX (Cobol, Basic Plus 2, scripts), DOS 3.1 through 7.0, Windows 3.1 through XP. Ran several (almost) forgotten networks - RPTI, Lantastic, WFWG, Novell 2.x, 3.x, 4.x, Windows peer-to-peer and eventually NT and just plain IP (Win/Lin mix). After a brief flirt with Clipper in 1988, discovered Fox and went through mFoxplus 2.1 (DOS), Foxplus (Xenix), FP 1.01, 1.02, 2.0, 2.6, VFP 3.0 (briefly), 5.0, 6.0 (SP 1 to 5), 7.0 SP1, 8SP1 and now 9. Maintained one framework, created another (in DOS Fox), helped create yet another one, then used a few more - bought or in-house - frameworks. Always too lazy to type the same sequence more than four times, I'd rather write a builder or some Intellisense.
Along the way, promoted a dozen beginners into experienced programmers. IOW, been there, done that, the T-shirts are recycled already, and it's still interesting and fun way to live. Retired in 2019 and finally found time for those pet projects... in Dabo/Python.
