My medical condition, I get worn out about, I get worn out a little bit.
Our school had one computer and only I was put into the gifted program.
The office didn't have a computer.
Nobody had a computer, but they had one program for the gifted program, one computer.
And I got in front of it in 1980 and I loved it.
And they had the biggest library for 120 miles.
And so from age 10, I started reading computer science textbooks.
And then so what happened is there was a college student that lived across the street from me.
He actually graduated and he kind of took me in and mentored me.
I mean, he's really the key to all this.
He didn't he didn't give a crap that I was 10.
And he just I used to sit all summer long.
I'd go over to his house and just sit and watch him program.
And I got to know the students.
They typically were computer science students, too.
Not always, but some of them were.
