Please, if you would, direct the rest of us to the place where we can study to become geeks.

The University of Athens.

Oh, wait. You said geeks. Never mind.

Now, how to become a geek.

Here's one way. Study Electrical Engineering. Find out about minicomputers. Fall into a job where you need to learn how to program them. Read a lot of material on the subject. Take whatever courses are available on the subject. Find out about microcomputers. Get familiar with them. Build one. Learn about this new appliance from IBM called a "Personal Computer." Buy a series of clones. learn MSDOS. Install Windows 1.0. Uninstall it as useless. Find a job in the microcomputer industry. Specialize in architecture and software. Study both on the job and in grad school. Learn software, both low and high level languages. Have a passion how computer things work, in detail. Spend the next forty years specializing in microcomputer software in several different industries.

I'm sure there is an easier way. I'll let you know when I think of it.
