INTRODUCTION: I am not a computer nerd and neither are you. We
|
|||
|
|
rarley see many computer nerds on the cool bbs's and if we
|

|
|
do maybe they're checking out the 'programming boards'
|
|||
|
|
and using their real names. But there is a much
|
|||
|
|
broader character to which that a computer nerd really is. A
|
|||
|
|
computer nerd has as much character for a text file,
|

|
|
as shall we say, Matt Ackeret. Thats why this file was
|
