For a couple of days in elementary I decided i wanted to expand my knowledge, so I picked out the first volume of the Encyclopedia Britannica at the school library and started reading.
I quit because I realized how dumb it was. Years later I would find myself clicking "Random article" on Wikipedia and getting lost for hours. Encyclopedias come and go, but my nerd status stays eternal.
I ran a BeOS related website. It was called BeShots.com. I took screenshots of programs that ran on BeOS and categorized them accordingly. At the high point I was getting about 30,000 hits per month.
It had a GUI and was wonderful to operate. I ran it as my main OS for a couple of years. It booted in about 10 seconds which was amazing for 1999/2000.
Do a Wikipedia search on BeOS and you'll get the idea.
Yeah, I was pretty bummed when they quit making it and the company dissolved. M$ had a LOT of collusive deals with different computer manufacturers which kept Be at a huge disadvantage.
Using my Gentoo laptop to warwalk around my neighborhood and recover the passwords to any WEP and WPA1 networks I found, so that I could have wifi everywhere.
I was close friends with someone for nearly ten years. One of my best friends. We are no longer friends and have not spoken in about 8 years because we had different opinions about Star Wars when the prequels came out. Screw that guy.

Not quite the same, but I once edited a wireless driver on Mac OS so I could use a 'windows-only' adapter. Such is life with Hackintosh.

My notes page in my school planner is full of calculus and polynomials.

I don't know what BeOS is but it sounds very nerdy.

Man, BeOS had so much potential. I was just a kid when it was around but it was so fast......
