RE: OT -- suggestions to ensure nerdiness in potential IT staff

[Steve . Parker]

Oh, I remember reminiscing !

I was all set to become a vetinary surgeon when I met a Commodore Pet,
running rat trap
and was hooked. That was 25 years ago.

On Thu, 2 Aug 2001,Rachel Carmichael scribbled on the wall in glitter
crayon:

->we called that 52 card pickup -- take deck, throw in air, run like the
devil
->was after us.
->
->I learned EARLY to draw intricate designs on the top of the deck so as to
->make putting it back together simpler.
->
->When projects were due, I'd cut every class but the computer ones, and
stay
->in the computer center until midnight,when they closed. Oh the good old
->days!

i was one of those geeks who could put object decks back in order by hand.;
-)
i still have several boxes of card decks.  the kids like them for
bookmarks.
