OK - a user page.

I question whether Wikipedia is a good thing. Who are the editors? Youngsters? Internet Nerds? Professors? Whoever they are, they establish what they want people to know, the truth aside.

First off, let me explain my background. I have been in the workforce for 50 years and a manager for 40. I graduated from college in 1966. My university had just started up a supercomputer touted to be one of the fastest 7 ever at a university. It could do 2 million calcuations per second. Now I read 500 gigabits per second and 2 teraflops producing video with the help of a fast video card.

I have worked on many of the government research and development programs that you have heard of and many you may never hear of. I have lived in Europe and the Far East with most of my time in the United States where I was born. I have been around. I've been on or ahead of the leading edge of technology for at least the last 30 years. I have worked projects where the President of the United States called me personally on issues. I have worked with muliple US government departments on a single project. I have worked space programs, aircraft development programs, communications and computer R&D. I am a retired military officer, retired government civilian, and currently working for a US government contractor working on R&D.

I have knowledge of many things not taught in college. I've been there and done that. I have a hard time taking anyone seriously that is not a least in their mid thirties, preferably forties or fifties. There are serious exceptions in that there are some youngsters that have impressed me, but not for the most part.
