Hmm.
Though not in high tech, per se, they could easily still be quite into
computing at some fairly decent level. Smart people running around.
I do small custom remodelling for a living. But I love computers and
tight programs.
I think the word is getting out about MS lies and crimes, and then Linux
is so darn clean, lean, and mean, it can't be ignored. It's really an
amazing developement to have sprung up.
Speculation on my part about his friends. Also, just using a laptop can
get one pretty close to being in high tech. Sorta.
