阅读理解 A【原创】
Computers for me started when I was 7 years old. I went to a very small village school, about 30 kids in total. One lunchtime we were all in the dining hall when a man came in to deliver and set up the schools first computer, I went over and didn't leave this man’s side for the rest of the day. Fortunately my dad is an electrical engineer , so shortly afterwards he bought a ZX81 and a few ?ears later a commodore 64.
Unfortunately at high school, they only had 2 computers for use by about 600 students, so I had to focus on what I could do at home peeking and poking my way through the commodore 64 user manual.
From the Commodore 64, we upgraded to the Amiga which was an amazing machine but by then the bullying had set in at school and being remotely geeky was not cool. As a result, I strayed away from computers, almost hiding my interest in them like some dirty secret. At home we moved up to an Opus 286 with 1meg of ram and one of the first VGA screens. I learnt about databases using Base IV and some basic Fortran.
As I moved through the educational system I deliberately avoided computer subjects as options for study for fear of being seen as a geek and being bullied as a result. That is until my second attempt at A Levels where I met Bill Edwards, one of the greatest teachers I have ever met. He would stray miles beyond the curriculum if he thought you were interested, and luckily my class was filled with students that were very very interested.
Now, I am one of the fortunates that genuinely loves his work, as I sit here it is I am, I have just finished setting up an esx server for no other reason than I haven't done it before and wanted to see what it was all about.
I have a two week holiday coming up and I intend to spend part of that time learning about Mono.
Thank you Bill for helping me come out of my programming closet.
