How do you figure?  At the time, my Commodore 64 was nothing more that a
glorified gaming machine.  I didn't have a printer, wasn't connected to
the net, in fact the only programs I ever bought for the machine were
games.  I had a Nintendo at some point in my life too, does that qualify
me as IT?  God, I never knew I had such an extensive resume.  Hey Terry,
Greg, got an address for IBM?  Looks like I'm "qualified".
