My Roots. Geek or Nerd. You decide.

In high school, I worked at a local college programming financial aid applications on a PDP 11/44. I was also a TA for intro computer classes at the same college. I had a second job working at a library. I worked over 30 hours a week for my second two years of high school. I also took math classes at a local community college during the school day.
I used my income not to buy a car or a spring break vacation (or a good haircut), but instead to buy a $5000 computer.
I met my girlfriend at the time in one of my math classes. She was going to a different high school and taking classes at the same community college.
Oh, I drove a 1980 chevette.
