I hear yah, Aliera!
When I was a kid my dad had an IMSAI 8080 which we later got rid of and got an IMSAI VDP 80 which was a terminal and S-100 all rolled into one 15lb box.
That's the box on which I learned 8080 assembler.
I saved up my pennies and bought my own Apple ][ (then later a //e and a //c) and started to program on that. I'm 36 years old. I've played with every kind of computer I could get my hands on. I currently own a bunch if Intel boxes, a couple of Macs, a couple of Sparcs, a couple of AT&T 3B1's, a Lisa 2, a TRS/80 model 16b and even a TRS/80 Model 100 (that tiny notebook.) I mostly work with different flavors of unix these days and get the biggest kick out of making stuff work that isn't supposed to. I don't plan on going into retirement just because I get older.
Incidently, I do have receipies on my computer (at least one of them) and I know how to cook quite well. I also work on my own car. I guess there are advantages to having been a tomboy growing up and a dilettante.
I do love Woz. Always have. He's such a cute teddybear of a guy. Gotta respect a guy that chooses his principles over money and power. What a guy.
Martha Stewart? Who's that?
