#KennethUdut now shares with you: His very first computer! Had
   some awesome games too. I got the Extended #basic model which
   let you #peek and #poke and play around with #machinelanguage as
   well as BASIC. I'd take programming books out of the library and
   type in programs that let me create my own #games

   It was at that point that I realized, ''I now know all of the
   #math I will ever need.'' I knew I could #program the rest. I
   declared it boldly to my mother, ''I don't need any more math''.
   She replied, in typical parent fashion, ''How do you know what
   you don't need if you don't know it yet?''

   Ugh

   But I was right.

   I wrote programs for anything more complicated than 6th/7th
   grade Math. That's how I understood how it worked. I'd take
   whatever crap they taught me in school and wrote a program until
   it make sense to me. So when I was stuck with stupid math
   formulas, in my mind I was always writing a #basic program to do
   the formula for me... that's how I did so good on my #SAT and
   stuff.
