Given the following list of some of my traits, I'll let you extrapolate:
- I have simulated, emulated or natively used at least one computer system from every decade since the 1940s.
- I have simulated, emulated or natively used at least one operating system from every decade since the 1960s.
- I have written a simulator for a hypothetical educational computer architecture purely for the purposes of personal amusement.
- I own eight fully capable computing machines, along with several other embedded systems with onboard programmability.
- I have attempted to learn FORTRAN 77 simply for personal amusement, not for any practical purpose.
- I have read and continue to read literature solely for the purposes of personal amusement from several genres that are not considered to be typical reading material, including programming manuals, automotive engineering books, books on military armour and small arms and English dictionaries.
- When asked a history question to which I didn't know the answer at the time, I proceeded to learn the answer and remembered the question for more than a year before giving the answer to a friend that was present when I didn't know the answer.
- On multiple occasions, my Wikipedia searches have left me with tabs open on at least four wildly disparate subjects, such as the biological policies of the Soviet Union, Bakelite plastic, a World War II battle, a mid-1950s jet fighter, V8 engines from a World War II aeroplane, and the PDP-11. Good luck connecting those together.
Have you guessed yet?
me and my boyfriend are very compatible in that department.
