Some grad students are making news now.

A handful of grad students are pretty advanced computer geeks, and there’s a saying that for every admin, there’s someone who knows one or two things better than you do, so I got some help from my customers.

(I was not in the CS department. Physics, actually)

But most grad students were more than full time busy with courses and research projects. A good mix of theoretical and experimental people.

NeXT had a small community, so help was probably a bit hard to come by at the time. Usenet was the thing.

I got a bachelors in physics and started grad school but there was that war. So by the time I got out of the service, I wasn’t eager to go back to school, and got into aerospace and eventually into computers, in various ratios, becoming 100%. Aerospace was up and down, and those h stuck with it had built networks within.

Not at all like I had imagined, but I do suspect that an academic career was not suited for me, or I’d have gone back as a student, rather than a staff person.

Hope things worked out well for you. I had some fun (and some crazy times)
