Nothing meaningful for programming really. I knew enough about MS Office to be dangerous.

I was a computer geek from way back, had a few BBSes in the late 80s (yes, I'm a child of the 80s & 90s), learned QBasic & VisualBasic back in the day, and tinkered with Python for a few years off and on... mostly off. Other than that, nope.
This ought to be worth something too, though.
