Yeah games captured my imagination as well. Still do. God knows how many hours I've logged in life so far. For me it all started with an Atari C380... http://www.atarimuseum.com/videogames/dedicated/videopinball.html The 2600 was childhood ecstasy. Blew my mind. In junior high school we had an Apple IIe in the library that nobody really knew how to use. I would do things like 10 ? eric hates english class 20 goto 10 and run out of the room. :p Then believe it or not I had a 2 year love affair with an HP-11C. OMG that thing was the perfect calculator! Now it's all things Gnu/Linux and still lots of fun. -- Eric Chadbourne
