    I didn't have my first drink of coffee until my sophomore year in   
    college. I remember thinking "Hey, I could get into this..."   
      
    Junior year, I was traveling into San Francisco to a little coffee   
    shop that sold French and Viennese roast beans for $3.99 a pound, and   
    running a Braun Aromaster coffee pot for 3-4 pots a day in a group   
    house - and somehow it held up to the duty cycle of a small diner.   
      
    I was a computer science major, and some school resources were   
    constrained. I took an assembly language course that had 4 modem   
    ports and 4 terminals in a lab - for close to 100 students. I'd learn   
    to work all night, go to morning classes and crash for a couple of   
    hours at noon. Coffee fueled that.   
      
    Always black.   
      
    Fast forward to today, and my morning routine, as it's been since   
    1991, is having a cup of coffee before the house wakes up, and   
    reading a QWK packet.
