Susan’s first computer experience was with an IBM mainframe computer via teletype (timesharing). Susan’s father, a management consultant, enlisted her help entering text. From timesharing she moved on to programming off-line on a key punch machine which generated punch cards which were then run on the computer via batch mode processing. Susan learned to program using Cobalt, Fortran, Paschal and Basic. Susan studied mechanical engineering, computers, and business at Georgia Institute of Technology, where she received a BS in Industrial Management. Her first computer was a Commodore 64. Since that time she has had numerous desktops and other devices. Her current devices include a Dell desktop, HP laptop, Dell Axim x51v, and AT&T 8525. She received a technician class amateur radio license back when you had to learn Morse code.
