My name is Karl Zollner. I recently returned to the US of A(Westward Ho! on to Portland we go) after a 15 year stint in Europe where I worked towards a doctorate degree in Philosophy ( Philips-Universitaet Marburg, Albert-Ludwigs Universitaet Freiburg). I have a life long fascination with computers, having written my first program in 1977, and gotten my first computer in 1980.
