Skills
I started using computers at school in year 10 (1993). At that time, most of the PCs were 386 with 66MHz and black-and-white monitors. 486DX and colour monitors are the luxury ones on earth. I learnt the basic computer skills and programming with Pascal and algorithm. I was the naughtiest student in the class who guessed out the administrator’s password from my teacher and messed up all the installed software. But after all, I knew what I had done and I was able to fix most of them.
For the next two years, I did not have any subject related to computer and I had no chance to walk into the computer lab. I had to save my pocket money and hired computers for exercises and experiments. I read a lot of computer books, tips and tricks and I tried all of the examples I had found on the hired computers. Honestly, some people did not really want me to use their computers.
I went to university in 1996 and owned my first PC a year later. It was an AMD K5 (586) 166MHz and 1.0 GB storage capacity. From that moment, my home likes heaven and it was the time I would never forget.
Years after years, I had learned and done several useful programs for myself and friends in Pascal (text-based and graphic), FoxPro and Visual Basic. I could not keep them all because some of my hard drives died.
