Has there ever been a time when computer geeks weren't consider a weird group of outsiders?
BTW, I was raised on MS-DOS and it didn't help my computer literacy one bit (heheh). I still can barely navigate my computer in the CLI, much less build anything or do anything cool from some internalized "mental model" of how a computer works. Meanwhile, there are a bunch of toddlers running around with Arduinos and doing all manners of mind blowing shit.
