Some cynical bastards in here had no passions of their own when 10, I guess.

I could see myself as that 10 year old; just with regular ol' IBM compatible machines and software around in the 90s. I literally begged to get online because I read about the internet in the encyclopedia when I was eight.

I had passions as a 10 year old, I just didn't have any adults in my life that I saw regularly, with any expertise in a skill to help me flourish. I had to stumble and struggle through those beasts all on my own.
