Could somebody from this site please reaffirm my faith in humanity and inform me that there is at least one person here who is NOT, and never has been in their life, a computer programmer

Hahahahahaha. I am a computer programmer, and until very recently, I
even used to be a game programmer. Please don't ask me for game
titles, because the games I had to write all the time (hint: Almost
everything in those games is pink, and the main person in those games
must be the most intelligent human being on the planet since she can
do and has done everything; she must hold dozens of degrees ("When I
was in ... (fill in anything and EVERYTHING you like) school, ...")
were one of the reasons I switched jobs.

<p>

Actually, I thought I was one of the exceptions here. I thought most
people here were NOT programmers. But maybe I am completely wrong...

While I took the most elementary courses in college, I could hardly
be considered by any stretch of the imagination as a programmer. And
those courses were from my ancient past...back in the days when the
student union hall contained games like Sea Wolf 2, Asteroids, and
Space Invaders. Now for those of you who can do the math, you'll have
a gauge on how old I am! :p

I was a programmer for 6 months, I'm more adapt at breaking software
then creating it. I now work in System Test.

Keep looking for a non programmer.

Heh, I'm not a programmer, though I ~did~ take several courses in C++
in school before I decided that I didn't want to be a coder. Now I do
tech support instead. Is that close enough to discount me?

I'm guilty.
<p>

I was a programmer, AND I was a game programmer for the c64.
After that I programmed PCs. It's no longer my job though.
Now I just program for the fun of it...

Forgive me too .... but I'm a programmer !!!
<p>

I used to code in various languages (from Assembler to C++), and
right now I'm developing Web application for one of the biggest
Italian car companies (no...it's not Ferrari....it's Fiat (ever
heard!?!)).

<p>

And when MARP (and my wife) give me the time, I code simple apps for
my utility.

I'm a born again programmer, only in Basic and a little C++, but now
only on the web (does that still count???)
It comes with the territory that this place (I-net) has to be
accessed via an electronic device.
For the games, I personally wish to see NO LIMIT as to how many games
you MUST play. As the original rules stated, play as few or as many
of the games you want...

Guilty as charged as well. Although as I currently head up the JADE
Support Team I don't do as much programming currently as I used to
and any that I do do is of course naturally done in JADE.

It seems that the 2 french people of the MARP ( the excellent Phil
Lamat and I ) are lost and isolated among a community of skilled
computer programmers. We' re not , and never have been, programmers,
and in fact, we only know some simple words of Basic to correctly use
some math calculators !

Programmers Rule! I used to be a programmer, but over the last
few years merged that skill with systems integration. The twist for
me is that most of my programming experience is in multimedia. Bonus
points to anyone who knows LINGO!
