Been doing Internet since before the web, been doing small computer since before IBM and Apple, been doing computers since most current IT was born — still here and kicking — specialize in understanding and applying advanced IT technologies, as it happens

This is what I wrote when asked about my professional ’standing’, and it is being modest

My name is Rich Roth and I am a techno wizard, been hacking computers for close to 40 years now - the 3rd generation of techocrats — my Grandfather ran a car chauffeur service in NYC in 1912 and my dad was designing airplanes in the 40’s and started creating complex systems in the 50’s. I sat down at my first keyboard in 1968 and have been building systems ever since. Just to add another step on the family story, my son is in a dotcom tech company in SF now.

So why this blog — that remains to be seen. Join me on some remembrances and explorations of the technology around us.
