'Cmon guys, I have received an underwhelming number of responses to my 
query about what 'hackers' and 'real programmers' are.  Please mail me
any thoughts you have on what makes a 'real programmer' or a 'hacker'.

Also, please describe what you think makes a *real* computer.  My thought
on this matter is that there are no *real* computers yet, because there
are no systems that can create matter from energy. :-)

In any case, please do send you ideas (as long as they are not too
sarcastic).
