Yes! I still work for the National Park Service and I am moving on in my career to Mount Rainier National Park in Washington state very soon. Yes! I became a fan of technorama AND freestyle right after I attended the podcasting course in Oakland. Your biggest fan!<\/p>\n<p>I am not a techno-geek so half the time when you start talking about programming and IT issues, it&#8217;s all a foreign language to me. However, I have been a fan of computers since elementary school back in the 1970s. My favorite computer, bar none, was my Atari ST. I <b><i>loved<\/i><\/b> that machine and used it to type my dissertation and first book. I am not sure what happened to it, but I have many fond memories of that machine. The worst electronic sound, bar none, is our #@#!!(!_ smoke detectors. Yes, I know they are supposed to be loud, but come on.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for all of the years of technorama.
