I'm east indian but born and raised here. Both my parents were upper middle class workers. The 'puter wasn't just encouraged, it was my babysitter from when I was 9. I was friends with the cool kids and the geeks. I was some kind of mashed up co-eek. I spent tons of hours in front of my 486, but I also went to parties. One thing to note, back in those netscape/prodigy days, friends I met online seemed to get me more than friends I had in reality. Maybe because the online family and I always worked towards the same goal(s). Either way, I don't talk to anyone from high school. In fact, I came to realize I didn't like very many of them. Maybe cause I was smarter than 92% of them or I never had a fundamental reason for enjoying their company, outside of their company itself. All the friends I have now are from college. =)
