[BRLTTY] Introduction...

[Mark L. Melonson]

Hi all,

I just wanted to formally introduce myself and share why I've come to use 
and love BrlTTY. I am a student, currently transferring from a community 
college to the University of Houston in Texas. I prior to this I attended 
a tech school for MCSE, A+ and Network+ training. I am seeking a degree in 
either Computer Engineering or Computer Science, with a heavy emphasis on 
Security. I decided I knew too much Microsoft crap, so in 2004 wiped my 
home office computer and installed Linux. I have been doing contract work, 
mostly with Gray Hat Research Corp. as a Security Research Specialist, as 
well as with other companies doing development and DBA duties. I recently 
received a Brailliant 80 as part of a package of AT given to me by the 
state of Texas. My work spans from full-out penetration testing to class 
instruction and recently working on creating a custom Linux LiveCD 
distribution for the company. BrlTTY makes my life easier as some portions 
of my profession require me to audit and produce code rather quickly. 
BrlTTY has literally increased my productivity immeasurably. I'd like to 
thank the developers and contributors. Also this is probably the nicest 
mailing-list I've ever been a part of. Most would just snap at users and 
tell them to read the manual. I greatly appreciate each and everyone's 
efforts for making the BrlTTY community so great!

Best regards
Mark L. Melonson
