I didn't use one at University, so I can't ...

...compete on that level. Ididn't take any computer science courses then. I already had a career as a programmer, so I learned about other things. How to pour beer without a head, how to pick up women, how to party hearty on no money at all - You know, important things that have carried me through the years.

I did use an NCR Century 101 in high school, though. Is that exotic enough not to count?

Imric's Tips for Living

Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

No...but you had that radio shack thing

to play with while learning those other life lessons.

Someday we'll publish the recipe for "rice mush pie" ;-)

Right after we make millions with the beer diet.
