Welcome to Vipers Place Who is Viper? Gary Conway has been designing software solutions since the 1960's. He built his first computer in 1968, a mainframe that he and a friend built from used IBM parts. They then donated the computer to their high school, Louisville Country Day. He built his first 'PC' on his kitchen table in 1977 using an RCA 1802 microprocessor and an old 9 inch television. The computer had 256 bytes of memory and ran at a blazing 3.4 KHZ. Later he built and added a sound board, full keyboard, a basic interpreter, expanded the memory to 8 KB and added I/O boards for controlling things in the real world. He has developed software and hardware solutions for numerous large corporations, including NASA, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratories (JPL), Humana, National Tobacco, Rallys, Circuit City and Maybelline to name a few. He has also developed solutions for countless smaller corporations and individuals over the years. He is the co-author of the now defacto-standard ZIP file. See the story here He was a guest lecturer at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Brunswick Ga He has designed and built a full size, full motion F16 flight simulator. See it here An Electrical engineer by education Gary has designed hundreds of systems and solutions, ranging from electrical hardware to software, to web based dynamic solutions and content management systems (CMS). He has been nominated for several software awards over the years. Gary has designed software solutions for over 40 years in languages/compilers incuding..
