College was an eye opening experience for me.  Up until then my world was my TI and my PC.  I knew linear languages but nothing to deep.  Even grasping the concept of compiled languages was something new to me.  But one thing I knew were games.

I started school out at SIU and lived in one of the tower dorms.  A couple of people had computers, including me.  There was this one guy on my floor whose father was in the business and he had one of the original Macs.  I remember playing Shufflepuck Cafe and Strategic Conquest on this little black and white system.  I was amazed.  The graphics, the sounds and the play was so much better than my PC.  All of this in this little unit.  Thus started my love with Macintosh!
