ComputerEd

In June of 1977 a 14 year old walked into Morris Library at Southern Illinois University. Downstairs in the media lab he was put into a cubical. The dull orange glow of a plasma screen lit his face as he first began to use the Plato computer system. Now all these years later he still has the same passion for computing that he caught that fateful day.

Hi, I am Computer Ed, also known as Edward Crisler. Computing to me is more than a job, it is a hobby and a joy, something I do for fun and work. Joined by my sidekick Doug Berner, I try to spread that excitement about computing through Computer Ed Radio, a local radio show done live every Saturday on WGGH, AM 1150.

I have been an avid computer user, tech, hobbiest and enthusiast now for over 30 years. I have been a gamer for even longer going back to the original DnD rule set bought out of Gary G.'s garage in a ziplock bag. Yes I knew him. My computer gaming began back in 1977 on Plato when i played with other people around the world in various DnD style games. I have never stopped.
