When I grew up, I am interested in computers and programming through high schools. I first learned about BASIC programming on Apple II computers at my school and got my first TI-99/4A home computer. I studied BASIC and TMS9900 assembly language programming with my TI-99/4A computer myself.
I attended my university and received a degree in computer science. I studied Pascal, FORTRAN, Ada and VAX assembly language for programming. I took some courses about algorithms, data structure, file processing, computer language organizations, operating systems and computer graphics. I had Internet and BITNET access while I was undergraduate student.
In early 2000, I discovered DECsystem10 architecture manuals (scanned in PDF file) and downloaded it. I studied and wrote my first PDP-10 emulator to load and run TOPS-10 operating system and it was successful! I am now working on my other emulators like printers (Epson MX80, etc) and big mainframe like IBM 360, VAX, PDP-11 and DECsystem10, etc.
