All About Roy

In late 1993, my wife and granddaughter and I moved to Lubbock from the Dallas area, where I had worked and lived for most of my adult life.
I had help start the KA Computer Store - one of the first in Texas. Many years and computer stores later, I wound up at the SuperConducting SuperCollider Project, managing a herd of their MACs.

Shortly after our relocation back to Lubbock, we started Lubbock's first commercial ISP and, while the business did not succeed, my interest in all things internet stayed around. Actually, I started becoming aware of its potential when I was working at the SSC. But, that was before the graphical interface was developed. It was around the same time that HyperCard started showing up, if I remember correctly.

End of current recollections...I hope to add more All About Roy content as time goes on. Until then, enjoy my life in pictures.

Strange Life Event #401: One day, while at the SSC Lab, I walked in to a room where they were bringing one of the large magnets into superconductivity. As I stepped in, there was this blinding, white light that illuminated the whole area, me included. It only lasted a few seconds, but, to this day, I think it must have realigned every single atom in my body. Only one of many weird events in my life.
