About Angelo Babudro

My experience with computers began when my father taught me to programme computers in 1974. Programming made sense to me right away, and very quickly I knew it was what I wanted to spend my life doing. By 1976 I had my first job writing a patient information programme for a chiropractor.

While attending the University of Minnesota's Institute of Technology in 1981, I wanted a way to check the spelling of documents but there were no spelling checkers made yet. So I took a dictionary and typed it onto IBM punch-cards.

In 1982 I started my first business with the goal of writing and selling software. I didn't know anything about business and hated selling, so I spent nearly all of my time programming and doing odd jobs to keep the bills paid.

In 1986 that I started my second business. I worked harder at it this time to make it successful, and have been self-employed ever since.

Some time around 1987, a small company called Microsoft sent me an evaluation copy of Windows version 2. I found it only slightly interesting, not nearly as good as a Macintosh although clearly aiming for the same funtionality. I figured it would not catch on.

In 1997 I opened my first computer store. In 1998 I started a dial-up and wireless Internet service — it was one of the early wireless ISPs and is still in operation today.

In February 2002 I was saved. In August 2002 I relocated to Victoria, BC where God blest us with two more children and splendid Christian fellowship. In 2007 after much prayer I moved my family (now six of us) to Nova Scotia. We now live in the town of New Glasgow and enjoy fellowship, study, and worship at the New Glasgow Gospel Hall.

I am blest to have some wonderful clients who have stuck with me over the years as I moved from place to place. If you would like to ask someone about my work just ask and I can provide the e-mail and phone numbers of people in Canada, the USA, and Africa.
