Why Are We Here?

No seriously, though. This is obviously a class project. Will it still be here in a few months? Probably not. Anyway, I’ll just let Sir Terry sum it up.

Wobbler wasn’t even a nerd. He wanted to be a nerd but they wouldn’t let him join. He had a Nerd Pride badge and he messed around with computers.  What Wobbler wanted was to be a kid in milk-bottle-bottom glasses and a deformed anorak, who could write amazing software and be a millionaire by the time he was twenty, but he’d probably settle for just being someone whose computer didn’t keep smelling of burning plastic every time he touched it.
