Herrie Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 I am a man of a 'certain age' (63) I have been around for quite some time As a teacher in English and Economy I am a real born Dutchman Lived in Luxemburg when I was young As teacher in economics I made acquaintance with Lotus 123 and WP. Switched over in the early days of Word Dug deeper into the matter and discovered Visual Basic for applications Was one of the first people using 'the network' as means to work at home Servers were a miracle, Internet as we know it now was not yet set up. Sharing Files went through several 'stages' server A to B to C etc. Was asked one day to teach my colleagues how to use a spreadsheet Mainly to calculate grades of students Windows 3.1 And the office suite were rolled out I started as a trainer in M$ applications Trained people in PC use at home and work Did this in the early days for a period of 10 years Returned to my original profession, teacher in school Over that decade of being a trainer I changed and 'the educational field' changed Being used to train people and bring them to self discovering Brought me to a total breakdown in 2014 Went into therapy and in 2 years time I discovered that I do not need to prove myself anymore As well as skipped the dutch word 'Moeten' (Must, obligation or force) from my vocabulary Discovering things on my pc/tablet/laptop in M$ is still a hobby, not a job To keep up with new developments I need to get newer versions of them As a sort of 'pre-pensionado' I simply cannot afford to pay more that 2 weeks of food for software This is my reason to find ways to skip that. Besides all this, I was victim of 'C' in 2019 for those who care, it was seminome testis After recovering fully I pleased myself with getting my motorcycle driving licence and since 2002 I am the proud owner and rider of a Honda Shadow VT800 build in 1988 in the USA a special series of 19.500 bikes of ewhich I am the owner of one of them. I hope I am welcome here and that I might find help needed and be able to help others Y.T. Harry Betlem Heerlen 1 Netherlands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
