   For a 13 year old geek, it was wonderful.   
      
   My dad was an 8th grade science teacher.  One year he found a TRS-80 Model I   
   Level I that the PTA had bought the school.  He learned to use it, had it   
   upgraded to Level II and bought it home for the summer - where I pretty much   
   commandeered it.   
      
   One summer teaching myself BASIC on a 16K computer with only the manuals and   
   some example programs started a whole career in Computer Science for me.   
      
      
   ... How do you keep a turkey in suspense?
