My uncle, who had gone to MIT and was a cardiologist doing research, gave me a book in BASIC, and my father said, “Oh, I have computers at the hospital.” He was a pulmonologist doing research on lung obstruction. So, I went upstairs and wrote a program, and my uncle read the book. My uncle said, “No. Here’s changes.” Then I wound up going down to the hospital, hacking all night. I was eight or nine. My father had a wizard who had been in the UNIX world, so I was very fortunate to get into that pretty early.”
