LOL - That sounds like something I'd of loved... while I had access to a 5150,
and then jumped into clones at my own house, I missed the programming bit until
a lot later. Started w/ games, moved over to PD BBSing - then pirate BBSing,
hacking, other activities and THEN programming by necessity. :P
I think the other way around might have been a better road.
