I'm proud of my Dad, Milton H.
Haynes Jr. Back in 1975 when I
was coding on IBM 360 series
mainframe computers in COBOL and
Assembler, he was coding in
basic on a Radio Shack TRS80 computer.
This goes back a
long time ago before floppy
disks, jump drives, CDs and
DVDs. How far back? My Dad used
a cassette recorder for offline
storage. And now cassettes have
gone the way of the 8 track
players, but my Dad, bless his
soul, is still online with his
PC at age 86. Go Dad!!
As they say, "the fruit doesn't
fall too far from the tree", so
to give fellow geeks like me a
forum for sharing fresh
perspectives, I founded Blacks
Gone Geek on October 30, 2007
when I created this website.
Shortly thereafter I created a blog,
a podcast and a discussion
group and the rest is history!
