I wrote my first computer program when I was about 16 years old in the late 1970's in high school. My school had a PDP computer that I learned to program during study halls. We stored our programs as holes punched in paper tape and interacted with the computer through teletype machines... About that same time personal computers came on the scene and our department acquired an Apple II. I began using the Apple for some data analysis but quickly became fascinated with programming the computer... I had also reached a crossroads in my career. I realized that to be successful in biochemistry I needed to continue my education. While exploring that option I learned that I could study computer science at the Rochester Institute of Technology. In those days RIT catered to adults students who could attend classes at night and on weekends.
