From openSUSE

I am retired from General Motors where I was a supervisor in a metal stamping plant in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. I have dabbled in computers since purchasing a Commodore VIC-20 in the late `70s, but no formal training. I am also an avid amateur photographer mostly in youth sports using Nikon equipment.

Primarily a dos user after leaving the Commodore 128 and cp/m, I investigated win3 and, unhappy with function and stability, participated in the early OS/2 betas. I tried minix and some early downloads of linux onto floppy disks. When IBM dropped the ball with OS/2 marketing/production/development, I immediately moved to Mandrake Linux.

When Mandrake appeared to be going down the tubes, I saw a box of SuSE 6.X on the BestBuy shelf and jumped ship, never looking back.

see my 1999 HarleyDavidson WideGlide which I purchased new as a retirement present from my wife of 43 years (1965). I am proud of that bike and ride a lot.

and a trial photo album server in beta-testing:
