Yep, taught by my Dad, who has often told the story of how he once
held a whole kilobyte of memory in his hands (something like a cubic
meter in size). He introduced me to programming, to fiddling with the
system configs (actually he forbade that, for ages - because he had to
clean up the mess if the system wouldn't boot), and to the joys of
networking. So in a large way he's why I'm a geek... and actually he
started that even earlier, when I was given the name Chris at birth.
That on its own probably is the biggest cause of my geekery, I think!
