The bigger your cache, the deeper you geek status. Each deep geek had his own cache of scripts that did everything from text formatting to playing tic tac toe. They were true magicians and they worked their magic on what I consider to be the most robust computing environment yet. These guys could write a bit of code and have a room full of UNIX servers doing the digital version of the merengue. Their magic discipline of choice was UNIX using Korn, Bourne, or C shell command line interpreters. There were guys who understood the terrain far better than I did. I wrote arcane command line scripts that did fun things like parse lists of names for certain parameters and pipe them to another list that might be used for mailing or whatever. There was a time when I was chest high into deep geek doings.
