I work for the Computer Center at the University of Colorado @ Boulder.
I am also an indirect beneficiary of the Wozniak Scholarship.  I receive
one of these `hacker's to delegate some of my workload to and, in return,
the `hacker' has an excellent opportunity to learn.  In retrospect, I was
lucky enough to get the same breaks when I was younger...

The term `hacker', as used here, is a person who is seriously interested
in learning more about computers as opposed to "just knowing enough to
get by".  Perhaps this is what some people are afraid of, I dont know.
Anyways, to be selected, they must have a `decent' GPA and have some
"special quality" (loosely defined by an *equally* special selection
committee).  In answer to your question, our group is looking forward
to their arrival.  I myself, will probably learn a couple things too,
uh, but dont tell anyone that...  :-)
