Hi Andrew,

I use computers in my job as a scientist every day. I write computer programs to analyze satellite data, download data from the Internet, use word processing software to write papers about my results, use drawing programs to create graphics for posters/presentations, and use PowerPoint for presentation slides. I often use e-mail to communicate with other scientists. Some other scientists use computer aided design software to help them build spacecraft instruments. Even though I use computers at work, I also think computers can be fun. I like playing video games like the "Tomb Raider" series. Lately, I have been playing the "LEGO Star Wars" game. I also use e-mail to keep in touch with my friends and family.
