    I am also not a computer science person.  I am a graduate student in
  Genetics who does ASCII art as a creative release. You would be
  surprised by how many scientists are artists.  We are not as cold and
  logical as everyone supposes. 
 
  The internet is a great source of information for me.  It is also fun! 
  However, I am not a computer nerd in any way shape or form. 8-)
