memories of my father
(and about three people in the world will get the music reference in the title...)
the ikea thing (specifically, the maze of twisty little passages) made me remember when my dad was working at cherry point, managing the install of a new mainframe there. of course, they had adventure installed and when my dad would take me in to work with him (because when you see your daughter just four days a month, you should be sure to spend at least part of that time at work), he'd sit me down in front of adventure for entertainment.
i wasn't really old enough to play very successfully, but i would try. the guys in the lab had drawn a map of the game, which helped a little.
that's it, that's the memory. geek training at an early age.
