Name: Vicci Conway [76711,1123]]
Residence: Margate, FL (between Boca Raton & Ft. Lauderdale)
Occupation: Marketing Communications Rep. or a better term
would be IBM/PSP Bulletin Board Programs Manager for IBM Corp.
It's funny how things happen to a person. Here I was up in
Columbus, OH minding my own business doing a job at IBM
that I truly loved and playing around on the computer. I opted
to be a sysop in the OS2USER forum and take care of the TEAMOS/2
section. That was in October 1992. In January, some higher up's in
PSP noticed my work and offered me a job doing exactly what I had
been doing on my own time, but they were going to pay me to do it.
WOW! Of course, it's a lot more work than just the BBS'ing that I
do, but it's fun!
Interests and Hobbies: Reading (my library now has over 1000
books), genealogy, computers, camping, motorcycles, cats,
trying out demo disks of software (which I haven't had much time
for lately), feeding the squirrels, ducks and wild parrots that have
found my feeders out back, photography, cross-stitch and gardening.
Favorite Computer Games: Duke Nukem and Cosmos.
Favorite Computer Software or Operating Systems: OS/2 V2,
Managing Your Money, Golden CommPass, and Roots IV.
Other: Have almost 2 years of college in accounting, love to
drink Cherry Coke and pickup the latest movies at Blockbuster
video (love Schwarzenegger), like to play euchere and sit
outside (under cover of course) during storms. Now that I have a
screened in, covered patio, I can really enjoy them!
I was born in Tampa, FL in 1957 and lived there until age 22.
I moved around a bit with my x-hubby's job and ended up in
Columbus, OH (a great place to live) for 13 years. That is
where my IBM career started. I also met a wonderful man there
and remarried. Since his family is there, we'll be going back to
visit every now and then. (I sure do miss my friends up there.)
I have 2 indoor cats - Pepper (4) and Nicole (10), a pretty good
computer setup and just added a 1.2 gig SCSI drive. My mother
is giving her old computer to Dave and I and we will be setting
up an Ethernet LAN in the house to connect the two computers.
I SysOp for the OS2USER forum, sections 8,9 and 10. I own the
TEAMOS2 CFORUM at IBM and have userid's on all commercial
BBS systems except FidoNet.
Things I'd *like* to do:
1. Become a mother.
2. Become a Certified Genealogist.
3. Win the lottery.
4. Move back to Tampa. (Well I made it pretty close to that!)
5. Write a novel.
6. Buy a vette - always has been my favorite car.
Currently life is nothing but work, work, work. Once I learn a little bit
more and feel more at home, things will calm done (NOT!).
