Hi from Morrie in Ottawa, Canada

Welcome to the forum, Morrie!

I live in Montreal, so I'm curious about where you might have gone to school.

@dronebot-workshop I lived most of my early years in ville St.Laurant and went to Malcolm Cambell High (no longer exists)  and completed Electrical Technology at Dawson College ...graduate in '73

Hired by Digital Equipment of Canada in Ottawa and did furthur studies at their school in Massachusetts and retired in 2005.

I was at Daswon as well, four years after you graduated.  And I remember Malcolm Campbell High; I lived in St. Laurent until I was 12.

Small world, LOL!

@dronebot-workshop I hope you enjoyed the Dawson experience as much as I did. I had two great teachers...Art Levine and LEO Degroot who spurred me on. I remembered the NOVA 1200 minicomputers that were used for machine language programming. Each student had to buy a bare circuit board and build an interface to plug into the bus. The next task was to write a driver to control the board.

My graduation project was a collaboration with another team. Team A wrote a program that allowed the computer to play tic-tac-toe against a challenger. My team B designed an interface to talk to the tic-tac-toe machine and display the visual of the game on a storage scope. Hard to believe this was over 50 years ago.

Small world indeed, I graduated from Dawson Mech Tech in the mid-80's 🙂 Took the first robotics class and first CAD class offered. Even worked as lab assistant for a couple of years!
