I taught myself all kinds of early programming languages, bought and built Heath kit computers.
Dumpster dived behind Companies to recover system parts thrown away and even infiltrated places to gain what I wanted.
No. What I NEEDED to complete a drive I had and still have!
I became an expert with Hex Editing on my own and some help from others that had my passion and drive to be a part of all this really neat stuff!
Back then? If you could hex edit? You could do nearly anything you wanted IF you were good enough.
It's becoming a lost talent or trade now days if you understand what I mean.
I'd graduated from High school in 1976 with a not spectaculer record. I didn't care about that then and don't give a hoot about that today.
They did not teach me what I wanted to learn so I did nothing but cause trouble just to get time off by getting kicked out.
They never expected I could pass all exams and get that diploma! LMAO!!
I was soon in the regular work force of factory workers.
