I also have an education in computer networking and telecommunications which is the field that I am currently working in and doing some computer/web programming.
Cool, I went to tech school in the early 80s myself, until I decided that a life working for "The Man" wasn't for me, so instead I went to work for various Mom & Pop outfits collecting skills along the way. I was dabbling a bit in PIC programming until the house came along and started eating all of my time. I'll have to post my mini CNC mill as one of my projects, you should like the homebrewed controllers.

How do you like the PP256? I almost went that way but decided I finally had enough of the x-in-1 machines, as much as I like the concept, I'm finding they don't fit my work style all that well. Almost wish I had gone that way though, I could be TIGging right now instead of moaning about Santa needing to put in more hours.
