When I was 13, my father—a brilliant, lunatic Irishman who was, at the time, crunching numbers for NASA—brought home a CPM computer. It was already obsolete and something of an experiment even then. I was reading Dostoyevsky. He dropped it on the table in front of me and said, "Figure that out and then show me how it works." I did. And I have been doing the same thing—with the benefit of a lot more education and an ever increasing selection of technologies—ever since.
