How have I survived so far?

At the age of 5 (1968), I plugged two pieces of aluminium foil into an AC wall plate and touch them; for a very short time, I was connected to the northern hydro-electric dams. At 15 (1978), I wrote a BASIC program on a Burroughs computer to calculate the first hundred prime numbers. At 25 (1988) I stopped studying electrical engineering and dedicated myself to digital survival. At 35 (1998) I started to use Linux for my desktop computer . At 45 (2008) I hope to use an open source microprocessor.
