Wow - some of you guys are *old*.  =)

My first was a Commodore 128K.  Spent endless hours typing in games from
the Commodore magazine - budding programmer even then. :P

Strictly, a geek is the sideshow employee designated to bite the head
off a live chicken.  The current term for this person is "Fear Factor
Contestent"

A geek in diapers, right?  ;)  Mum put your high chair right next to the
keyboard so you could start clicking away..  when was the term "geek"
coined, anyway?

Though I do know a 4-year old who, while her father was searching for an
update for a game, pushed him away from the computer and told him he was
too slow; she could do it faster... =)

Hey now.

I was just geeky at a very, very early age.

There's a difference... although... maybe I'd rather be old ;)

Load "coolGames", 8, 1 

I need to get a copy of M.U.L.E. I loved that game on the C64 or might
have been the C128 I played it on.
