Who are you and how have you stolen my[1] early career history?!

Let me guess you started in the early 90's, right?

I remember looking at HTTP for the first time and feeling like it was 5250 display files writ anew. The y2k mess made me jump into web dev full time.

Hahaha... well, it's a long story, regarding the early part of my career. Especially the whole bit about exactly how I got involved with AS/400's in the first place.

Let me guess you started in the early 90's, right?

Almost. I graduated H.S. in '91, started programming in '92 or so, but didn't start my first IT job until 1997.
