Three Things meme

(From many places on my flist, most recently thnidu. I prefer this version of the two I've seen recently.)

Rules: Post 3 things you've done that you believe nobody else on your F-list has done.
Indulge in remorse if someone calls you out on a listed item.

1. Run programs on a Bendix G15. (There may be one or two old-timers who can call me out on the drum, vacuum tubes, or germanium diodes.)
2. Built a web site (Interesting Places for Kids) that was in PC Magazine's list of the top 100 websites in 1995.
3. Written a book on Real-Time Microprocessor Systems. (Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1985).
