How do country bumpkins become techies.... Well go on a rollercoaster and realize that your dream of becoming a test pilot is pure poppycock! That's a good way to start. The rollercoaster wasn't even that big, you know the little one that used to be at Coconut Park... Yeah... Dat one! Momma bought me a Samsung XT to pacify me. Got hooked up with a breddrin of mine who had an Apple II gs and the rest is lacklustre history.
