my aunt sent us an old TI comp. yeah like the calulator company.
i was lik 6 orsomething. used to have figure out the command to run "Captain Goddnight" which you had to beat in like 2 hours or somthing or the world exploded. it was all about timing. but i learned how to make that thing do all sorts of stuff (just like i still do on the TI 93s or whatever in algebra >
) anyway - my dad bought an old aptiva - which i set out to learn everything i could about - of course as soon as i got to see the inside of one i was hellbent on how does this thing work - still havent figured out one little part - what configuration of electrical charges tells the computer to interpret the other ones as instructions? where the first on come from?
how many licks to the center of a tootsie pop?
the one thing ive figured out in 2.5 years of prgramming: computers are only as smart as you make them.
