I read c.s.a2 all day, of course!  In previous lives I remember 
receiving an Apple II+ in 1980 as a present from my folks.  $1210 in 
1980 dollars was a big expenditure for a 14 year old.  Luckily it paid 
off.  Bill Budge's 3D toolkit got me hooked on computer graphics and 
became my focus through college and into work.  Which led (through a 
convoluted path) to lucky employee #13 at NVIDIA as Director of SW in 
'93.  One of the interesting twists of fate was working with Bill Budge 
on a joint AMD/NVIDIA project.  I decided to move on in 2000 and became 
Mr. Mom in '03.  While waiting for my son to be born (taking breaks from 
putting the nursery together), I found an Apple II emulator for the Palm 
that was in dire need of a rewrite.  That returned me to the computer of 
my youth.

BTW, I still haven't decided what to be when I grow up.
