Nerdish side hobbies, Was: Re: Slightly OT

[txrocco@sbcglobal.net (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

Well it's not because I had old style (old skool GRIN) computers and was a
nerd that I did not drive a 64 mustang, or built a maveric with a 440 in it,
having brothers does have advantages especiallyw hen they are older than you
:) and I worked tech job from 7=4 and works at a factory from 5-11, so I
guess I got best of both worlds eh? (ahh I know why... I lived in Canada!
(Ducking)...
