I just wasn't nerd enough back then.
My teacher told us to be sure to know how to paint and draw if you want to be an artist but we should probably keep up with computers too, they might come in handy. The only computers in my high school was in the art room. I spent a lot of time there. The scanner built into the printer helped us make some pretty convincing fake ids.

Lecture about OOP given by Smalltalk Developer
Even in our days, where object-oriented programming is widely accepted, it is still not very well understood by most people. Here's a summary of the lecture, given by Dan Ingal (who worked in Alan Kay's Smalltalk group):
*State-of-the-art: Procedures and data structures
*Architecture problems faced by structured programming.
*Message system of Smalltalk for invoking methods of an object.
*Inheritance and polymorphism
*Automatic storage management (garbage collector).
*Examples, how applying OO makes development easier (GUI, compiler, debugger).
*Exception Handling
At the end, Dan Ingal is interviewed by David Ungar (Assistant Professor, Stanford, Computer Systems Lab).

I fell short of mapping bird flight paths, but I did get a vertially graphed bolt of lightning which I sought-even though it looked liked it was constructed from TinkerToys...later it was onto Sinclair's...the facsimilie printer (Xerox Telecopier) at least gave me abstract images from sound |
