“Techno Tutoring”
By Christine Wang
Joseph Saunier, 65 (in 2005), of Denville, a
retired computer programmer and operations manager, wrote his own system to
manage his stock portfolio. His home computer has been a handy tool for
stock transaction record keeping for income tax purposes, he said.
“My system is procrastination-free – that is,
provided I want to know each Friday how I am doing in the market, and I always
do...”
Another thing he’s found handy is using his
computer to learn natural languages.
“It is very good practice to learn by keying in German
and Russian text, using Microsoft Word 2000, for example from (Boris)
Pasternak’s ‘Dr. Zhivago’ or (Franz) Kafka’s ‘Die Verwandlung.’ I have
also edited a 70 page compilation of German ‘surface grammar’”, he said.
