[Career]
Meeting with personal computer
When 8 bits microcomputer, i8080 of Intel Corp., has announced, I went to listen the briefing of it. There were some points which I couldn't understand well, but I knew by intuition that we are entering into a new age of electronic world. In 1976, I started to use TK-80, one board computer for experimental use of NEC. It uses a microcomputer and it couldn't call still personal computer, but it could be connected to external circuit by interface circuit and it was convenient to study program development by assembler. 8 bit personal computer PET2001 of Commodor Co. and TR80 of Tandy Radioshack Co. were imported from USA. There were not OS in the computer and operation file, load or save for example, was on command base. And assembler for language was unique. Then language called BASIC was introduced and it became fairly convenient.
I have been taught the personal computer the employee on business.

[Current state]
My personal computer today is the fourth generation from 8 to 16 bits, and 32 bits. I'm using the personal computer as hobby and practical use concurrently now.
As software development, I made simple program by using Lotus 1-2-3 and the "Kiri"  (paulownia; the Japanese database software) as the volunteer.
As the Internet, I participated the homepage making of NMC(New Management Club) from 1997 to 1998. This homepage developing started in September, 1998.
Now I don't use the language, and use the macro at most.

[Software]
I still use Windows 95 as OS.
As AP(applied program), I am using Excel(spread sheet of Microsoft), Word(word processor of Microsoft), HIDEMARU(editor of the shareware), Navigator(browser/mail software of Netscape), and Homepage builder(homepage making software of IBM). And moreover I'm using Outlook(Data Management software of Microsoft), PhotoShop(photograph retouching software of Adobe), YONDEKOKO(OCR program of Eye Software Co.) and Pansee(translation software of Oki Electric Industry Co. Ltd.).

[Hardware]
I have bought G6-300(RAM; 64MB, HDD; 8.4GB, Modem; 56kbps, and 17 inch monitor) of Gateway 2000 last few days of the year in 1997. There was not any trouble and I'm using it with satisfaction.

[Objectives]
The main objectives of my personal computer are as follows.
1) Blue-return form(Excel and macro)
2) The stocks(Excel and macro → stock price graph by a day, a week and a month)
3) The Internet(e-mail and homepage)
