Bio page 
Here I am! I am the one in the middle, the day of my first birthday
with my brother (left), my cousin and my mom.
My sister (not born yet that time) and my father are the ones who
miss to do a nice "family portrait",
For the most curious here are some info about me and my resume
or, better, my history.
My name is Mario Nava.
I was born in Milano on Agust 2 1962. I live in Seregno, a small
town 20km north of Milano.
I am 1.73 tall and my weight is 65kg, I have brow hair and eyes.
I am a programmer, owner of a small company who makes prevalently
business software for small-medium companies.
Besides we also sell hardware and computers accessories.
During more than 17 years of activity I developed a wide knowledge.
I begun on a "prehistorical" IBM System/3 (with punched cards!!)
then I changed to the mythical (for those who know)
IBM System/32. WOW! It had a screen (6 rows 40 cols) and an integradet
line printer too!
After this the System/34 arrived. Finally a decent computer.
System/34 has probably been the most famous mini-computer
ever built by IBM. The next one, System/36, only improved
the good qualities of the previous model. Multitasking, multiuser,
with an Operating System (SSP) sure not amazing
(character interface) but strong and stable as no other OS I used.
If you add the fact that IBM sold it in Italy with business software
(called ADM) with sources you obtain the result.
Pratically there were no Sotfware Houses around that weren't born
customizing that software.
To be true ADM were also available with System/32 but, on my opinion,
they become famous with System/34.
And then? Then PC come. Holy shit! Who could had imagine! Own a
real IBM 8088 with CGA colour screen
512kb Ram and a 10Mb hard disk! It costed like the hell and
pratically there was no software around.
But this situation lasted few time. Everyone knows the story. In
a certain way it has been the beggining of ... the end!
Microsoft was born from there!
Joking aside (who's joking!) think as you want but I swear you
that since Pc appeared nothing has been the
same as before. New hardware has been available at incredible speed.
Trying to stay up to customers' needs and hardware
software available I used, or only tested, a huge quantity (nothing
compared to what have been produced) of stuff.
Dos, Basic, DBIII, S/36 emulators under Unix, Windows, Novell,
Lantastic, Windows 95, Windows NT.... HELP ME!!!!!
And it's not already ended.......
