Hi everyone. Im a 37 year old "application developer" (the new name for computer programmer :)) programming in Visual FoxPro, Oracle, Java, and C# for a medical claims clearinghouse. Born, raised, and still living in upstate New York (Newburgh....an hour north of NYC and an hour south of Albany). Been married for 15 years and have a 12 year old daughter and a 9 year old son. Also have two dogs, a boxer mix and a bassett hound/Shi-Tzu mix, two tree frogs, a cat, and a uromastix lizard. Played football and baseball my whole life, starting football when I was 8 years old in Pop Warner, and going right through high school football (at Newburgh Free Academy). Still play as many sports as possible, mostly confined now to playing in two softball leagues. Been playing baseball simulations since I was about 7 years old, starting with the old "flick the spinner" All Star Baseball Game, moving on to Charlie Brown Baseball (which taught me how to keep a scorecard), then a game called Longball (my first real baseball simualtion), then on to Strat-O-Matic. First computer baseball sim was Microleague Baseball, then played them all after that. Currently play just about every CRPG and baseball/football simulation that comes out. Im a diehard New Yawker, so I follow the Yankees and Giants religiously, and am afraid to admit Im a Knicks fan. Dont follow hockey much, but like the Rangers. Not a big Mets fan, but I like to see them win, unless it affects the Yanks . Grew up in a split household, where my mother and one brother are Mets fans, while my father, other brother (no sisters), and I are Yankee fans. All of us are Giants and Knicks fans. At 9 years old, I have my son being as big of a baseball fan as I am. He lives and breathes baseball. My daughter is a dancer/actress, whom just missed out on the part for Robin Williams daughter in the movie RV (was down to her, one other girl, and the girl that got the part, a teen singer named Jo-Jo) Shaun, you are one of only two other people that I know that has ever played Longball. That game was great for its time.
