Josh,
You at 22 seem a little like me at 50 - I have always liked putzing around with
my 'puter since I started with a Comodore Vic 20 (boy was that a long time
ago!). I think though that we most likely fit the discription geek-wannabe,
since we have no formal education to qualify us as certified geeks.
M2C,
Ernie
