    Some classes, but mostly years of mind bending confusion. The very first computer I ever worked on was 128 bits total memory and you could see the x, y, and z wires and the ferrite cores.

    My parents said I became addicted to the computer at 3 years of age! I learned how to type real fast 2 or 3 years ago.

    Everything I know, I taught myself.
    All we did in computer class in grammar school was play Oregon Trail and Wheel of Fortune.

    My husband bought me a computer as he thought it was a way to educate myself and learn of things just by being able to look them up. I have to confess I use it for many things. I have purchased many books and a few games off of it. I have also improved my typing skills.

    I began learning about computers inside and out as a teenager and it was all self taught. I learned more when I joined the military and worked as a computer technician. Went to school for electronic and computer engineering....learned even more.

    But working in computers requires that you constantly reeducate yourself as there is something new everyday.
