Favourite application, game, and program of all time: K3B, GNOME Mahjongg
 
What are you playing and working on  right now: Ubuntu Linux

What is your current Wallpaper/Screensaver:  Blank Screen because all true GEEKS know that a blank screen is the only TRUE screen saver.

What's so special about your computer room: Fully populated with five computers and four printers.

How many computers do you have: 3 PCs with Athlon CPU, 1 with Athlon 64, 1 UltraSparq.
 
What was your first computer: That I personally owned was an IMSAI 8080.

Do you remember the first program you ran on it: A bootstrap I wrote and keyed in myself.

Geekiest moment of your life:
Explaining to my doctor the moire patterns in the digital X-Ray images he had sent to his office. 

When did you first realize you were a geek: 
Right after High School.  My draft notice came and I picked Automatic Flight Control Systems (AutoPilot) and then learned Artificial Horizon/Radar Navigation) as my skills when enlisting in the Air Force.

If I was a program I'd be:
Heuristic File Manager with previewing capability for ALL file types because Konqueror (KDE filemanger) needs to do this now.

What is your favourite quote: "You learn something new everyday, IF YOU PAY ATTENTION."

What do you do when you're not at your computer(s):
Cub Scout CubMaster and Linux User Group founder

What is the funniest/most bizarre computer/Internet experience you have ever had:  1.In 1972 when 747 aircraft first started landing at O'Hare in Chicago, I drove 70 miles from my Air Force station to photograph one at O'Hare.  Bob Crane of Hogans Heros got off the plane and I asked him to stand aside so I could take the plane's picture.  2. Hand punching paper tape to get a CNC mill to cut a part correctly.

You have a time machine that can only be used once. If you use it you will not come back. What date would you set it to, and what ONE thing would you take with you (not a computer):

Would go back to when Xerox PARC gave away the mouse, GUI desktop, and Ethernet with a computer history and try like hell to convince them to not give it all away.

Ralph, who believes he invented cream of broccoli soup, would like to say that Open Source is free speech. Ralph would like more people to be aware of the National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI).
