Nerds tend to be misfits with interesting backgrounds. The Boston chapter 
of the IEEE was very much computer oriented and chasing new ideas. The New 
Hampshire chapter was mostly classical electrical engineers who worked for 
Public Service of NH, the power company. They were nice guys and all and 
could throw nice picnics but the level of conversation was more about 
baseball.
