Just thought I'd pop in and say hello to a fellow Jerseyite. Welcome to h2g2.

Thanks for the welcomes. Of course "Jerseyite" could be the Isle of Jersey or New Jersey. In my case, it is New Jersey, USA.

I just submitted my first article:

A3144872 The History of Magnetic Recording

Of course, I may be the only person interested in this topic but I liked writing it anyway.

Jim

Oh, I'm from New Jersey. Exit 89.

Good luck in peer review. I think you will find there are other parties interested in your chosen topic here. Researchers have diverse interests.

Ah, a GSP man! Exit 153B here!

That'll be , thank you very much. I grew up a 154 girl. Still have family at 153B and 157.

Sorry 'bout that!

I guess I have always been an Exit 153B person except for college when I was Exit 130.

Rutgers, I presume?

Yep it was Rutgers. Are you a Knight? I did do the unthinkable and went to grad school out of state but returned to my roots. The Jersey Devil already forgave me.

Douglass '77. Please don't hold it against me.

I have very fond memories of Douglass. Particularily the 2 semesters I tried dating the whole Second Floor North of Katzenbach Hall.

I lived in Katzenbach for three years. Second floor was '74/'75 as I recall.

That was a bit before my time, I was '82. After the Katzenbach year, a number of my Douglass friends moved to the Henderson Apartments and Corwin so I moved with them. If it wasn't for Douglass, the whole College of Engineering would have drowned taking cold showers.

I'm impressed that you did engineering and managed a social life. Although I guess I shouldn't be... my husband went to NJIT and he had a social life. It revolved around beer rather than women,though, since there was a dearth of women.

Oh, he is an Exit 153B, too.

Well, I went from and to . It was all part of my academic evolution.
