I've been Hacking the Internet since its beginnings as the ARPA Net. This was in 1971 or 72. I developed the 'MIGS' graphics system used at MIT for 10 years. I worked for USC and ISI for over 20 year developing both hardware and software. This included custom CMOS VLSI design. 


My current interests involve : Computer aided Symbolic Math , Digital and Analog Electronics, Sailing , and Navigation .

You'll need Mathcad or the free Mathcad Explorer from Mathsoft to view the 'Navigation' document.
