If you're claiming that I'm eccentric, I'm suprised it's taken you this 
long to notice :-)

That I certainly agree with. IMHO you can be a hacker in just about any 
field. 

_BIT_ if you look at the 'how to become a hacker' web page, you'll find I 
meet almost none of the criteria. Oh well...

As you know, I'm happier with hardware (electronics and mechanical stuff) 
than software... I just don't think I'm good enough at anything to be a 
hacker.
