The fact that you knew that off the top of your head (or off the top of a quick google), boggles the mind.

You out-nerd me. ;)

No Google, just long-infected nerd.

My old C-64 -- my first computer -- along with a pair of 8514 drives, a cassette drive, and a 14" 40x25 monitor, are up in the attic to this day. I wrote just enough 6510 code to get the bug, badly enough to give up practicing law for writing code as soon as I got good enough to get a job at it -- one Kaypro and one Compaq later.

That was really cool, and I made a lot of money at it, until last December. I got canned right before Christmas, after nearly a decade with the company :-).

Of course, there aren't a lot of lawyer jobs available, either...
