Memeage musings ahead...

I'm not sure how I managed this, but I'm not complaining. I just think the test was way too easy - I got points for knowing of computer programming languages, for heaven's sake. Just too easy.

I remember the first time I saw a personal computer - my best friend's father was doing computer stuff in the '70s. He apparently did stuff that turned out to be fairly important to computer people, and at their house was this ugly beige box and tv-like "monitor" with a black screen that showed orange words, and basically did nothing that seemed interesting to a 7 year old me.  They seemed rather taken with it, so I assumed it was important.

Now I'm typing words into an 8-gig computer on a flat screen wide monitor, and have a scanner/copier/printer/fax machine next to it, and a high-speed internet conection.  I guess I should have paid a little more attention to the ugly beige box.

Though according to that nerd test, I'm doin' fine.
