Welcome, everyone. Devin, welcome. And is it Delano? Am I pronouncing that right? It's Delano with a long

A. Delano. Delano. Delano. So that's actually a great segue to your first computer. How did you get started in this? What's your role? What do you do? Do you heard cats on a daily basis? And how did you get started in this world of IT? What was your first computer? Let's go with that. The first computer probably realistically was the TRS 80, if we're going to talk real computers.

Radio Shack.

Yeah.

All in one monitor, keyboard extravaganza with maybe 12K of RAM or whatever it was.

5 and a quarter inch floppy drives.

Yep.

Big platter discs.

Yep.

That was my first one.

I don't want to accept like write fourth grade papers. Well, you, that was my first one. I don't want to accept like write fourth grade papers.

Well, you, that was my first machine that accepted Basic.

You remember Basic. 10 print, hello, 20, go to 10, execute, run, bat.

And then you got high all over your screen. And then they're super awesome.

If you added the tabs, you could get it tiered across the screen to look, I go scrolling. All the cool stuff. Yeah, maybe get a magazine

with some, some different programs you could type into it and make it do stuff. Yeah, and my father,

who was a school teacher, sixth grade school teacher for the longest time, actually,

subscribed us to a newsletter and I coded basic games, which is really exciting when you write

3,000 lines of code and then you got to go figure out where your syntax error is.

So my father was an English teacher, so it wasn't exciting. Like I didn't get to talk about

cool science and stuff, but he would always tell me that I was using the wrong past

participle when I was speaking with a group versus singular or plural. And that's the wrong tense of that verb, son. So yes, it was, that's what it was like having a six great English teacher. Okay. So we've got the history. It's a good history. How do you end up where you are, though? So that's a natural progression, of course, into that.
