Same timeframe, my highschool in Arizona was one of the first netacademy programs. Your stories sound just like my stories, isdn included. Something about that time just had this fresh, wild frontier feeling to it when it came to computers. I miss it often. I credit so much to the head of the computer dept, and industry guy who left the industry and was teaching us kids, but kept his industry contacts. I consider him my mentor, because he taught me the power of curiosity and tinkering. One of my favorite stories when I first started netacademy, we would do capture the flags in a big circle of routers and wires, and one day in the middle he walked over and switched physical connections and said "the rules today didnt say anything about physical security" and walked away. 16 year old mind blown. Did you do VICA competitions too? |
