        What High School? Back in '64 when I was assisting with a business
machines class at the U of Washington School of Bus. Admin senior year, we
got our intro to computer. Get this. We would put some contacts into some
holes, push a button, if the light went on, the computer (?????) was
supposed to have worked. You can see it made a big impression on me at the
time. I was real good with a comtometor and a variety of other adding
machines. Hey, when a pocket calculator came out in the early '70's I
thought I had gone to heaven. Now 10 mo. in I'm still trying to figure this
monster out.
