My fascination with computers started when I watched the movie Hackers (1995) [1]. I just liked the idea of the underdogs upping the ante over their well-funded bureaucrats and being smart and stubborn. Even though this was rather a bland movie (by today's standards), I appreciate the fact that this movie pushed me into the realms of software and computers in general.

Hackers was one of the two movies that got me into development. The other was Antitrust (2001) [1]. I ended up taking AP Computer Programming in high school that year (back when it was C++) and had dreams of going to UIUC and starting a startup in the garage with my good friend.
