My infatuation with computers started back in 1979, and for the most part if anyone didn’t know anything about computers I wouldn’t bother getting to know them.

I’m a little better than that now, but not a lot.

My dialog could go somthing like this:
“So, do you know anything about Linux or web development with open source tools?”
“No?”
“Let’s find something else to talk about.”

Trouble is that I don’t follow sports, or prime time TV, so there aren’t many subjects to talk about. Except of course, religion or politics, and that’s generally a bad way to get to know anyone.
