That same year I was in 2nd grade. My father was trying to get his accounting company to adopt and use the new technology. The weekend before a big presentation he taught me to write my first program and use what he was going to require of his coworkers. In his presentation he began with "I will not accept any this is too hard whining as I taught my 7 year old daughter how to do this over the weekend. If a second grade girl can learn and do this so can you."
