Nah, just a computer geek. Got interested in 86 with my first Trash 80, then
after a near fatal car wreck when I was 16 and I had to be homeschooled for
a full semester and mom and dad bought me my first PC, a Tandy --sheesh they
still have that old thing. And since then I've just upgraded and upgraded
and sat here in front of this thing and taught myself to keep it working so
that I don't have to spend so much money. If my parents had to hire someone
to fix their screw-ups they'd be bankrupt at this point. My mom opens
everything she gets. She clicks on popups. My dad sees one little thing come
up and he's scared he's crashed the whole thing. It's almost comical except
that our family night every Wednesday night has now turned into "if you'll
fix the computer, we'll feed you." LOL
