my boyfriend has been working with computers since 1984 (same as me), so he's familiar with all kinds of different programming. he even has an old commodore 64 that he plays 70s/80s video games on as well as a small tandy (radio shack brand) computer he uses for keeping track of dates and appointments.
as far as arizona is concerned, i don't mind the heat at all. i've been in triple degree heat before for extended periods of time and it doesn't bother me. i'm more of a hot weather person than a cold weather person. at least in arizona you don't have to deal with blizzards, snowbanks, icy sidewalks, freezing rain, wind or subzero temperatures. i'm *so* glad this will be my last winter spent here in wisconsin!
