Profile
I've been involved in the emergency medical services for 16 years, serving at one time or another in all capacities. I've been a volunteer EMT-Paramedic and firefighter. I've served as Director of a couple of different companies, one of them being a 3rd city service. I've been a training officer, dispatcher, and field medic, not necessarily in that order. I've been an EMS skills examiner, instructor, and coordinator, and still hold certification as an EMS Instructor and Examiner. I've been the Program Chairman for two state college EMT programs and one community college. I've tried my hand at programming EMS tutorial software, and ran a 4-line BBS for 8 years. I've been an EMT since 1983, a paramedic since 1986. I am presently a co-owner and director of Advanced Cardiac & Trauma EMS, a private company with a 9-1-1 contract in eastern Hidalgo County, in the Rio Grande Valley of Southeastern Texas.
My first computer was a TRS-80, which I bought in, I think it was 1980 or 1981. A couple of years later, I bought a Coleco Adam, both of which are still in working condition. Next came a Tandy-1000, an 8088 with an off-brand that I can't think of at the moment, then a procession of 286's, 386's, 486's, and pentiums. At the moment, I have an Acer Aspire, that was top of it's class when I bought it a few years back, but which is now due to be replaced, and another that I've been trying, with little success, to put together myself. Of all the computers I've ever owned, or used, the only one that I can honestly say was a piece of junk from the start was a Packard Bell. When it was less than a year old, I gave up trying to actually use the thing and dismantled it for parts, some of which are in the one that I'm trying to build. Perhaps that's why it doesn't work.
