I'm self-taught where computers are concerned.  My M.Th. has not
proved to be a valuable instrument.  Computers just seem to be fun for
me.  They remind of the Scriptures - a novice can grasp basic
concepts, and the experts can be confounded by their depths.  But,
too, they are easier to master (for me) than many other things.  My
investment in computers and books has been minimal, but my knowledge
has grown phenomenally.
