nineteen ninety something..

I remember I was in 5th grade when my dad came home with our first computer. Along with it came a whole bunch of free programs on CD's. One them was "Encarta"....'95 or something like that. It was some Encyclipedia with photos and brief explanations of all matter. When I found out about it I was pretty excited to learn. I was also intrigued to find an idea or object that Encarta didn't know about. I wanted to out-smart it.
After a few days, my 5th grade mind was as flushed out of ideas as it could be. I was impressed to say the least. I went to school and was excited to share the news. During snack break, I went up to my friend Jake and asked him if he ever needed any information on anything like F-14 Tomcats, or cougars, Robots, hard mazes or Leonardo DeVinci, to let me know, because I had just gotten "Encarta '95". He looked at me and said he was fine. He also said that he had "Encarta '97, and that he would use his own. He walked away, leaving me stranding there with my pride soaking into the carpet of the classroom.
