As many of you probably know, mac programming has reached nearly cult-like
status .  At the developers conference I was in a huge room with thousands of
people chanting "MOOF MOOF MOOF".  This is not the typical IBM systems
introduction kind of place I thought to myself.

Question 1 - Why is it that most of the really good mac programmers I met are
rarely CS grads. Lots of physics guys, some math, some arts etc.  (I have
however met some REAL hotshot CS grad programmers in Cupertino)

Question 2 - What is the difference between a Geek and a Nerd?.  I think a
Nerd LIKES unix.

Question 3 - Do the people who work for/at Apple really have as much fun as
they say they do?

Question 4 - Are valley girls real?
