I have no idea what you would have considered "nifty". Do you mean you
implemented PONG using front-panel switches of an Altair, or you
implemented a linked-list system and used it to implement big integer
arithmetic, or you wrote a dialup BBS, or you wrote a compiler for a
new language you invented, or what?? Please give some examples of the
kinds of "things" you "did".

Yup, you got it right.

And you seem to have the ability to "hack", that is devise creative
approaches to D/P problem solving, and to analyze such approaches to
compare their relative benefits. Have you been following the problem
with e-mail "spam" (unsolicited buik e-mail) as it's developed over the
past ten or so years? What solutions do you recommend for:
(1) somebody who operates their own SMTP server;
(2) somebody who is merely a user on a big ISP that doesn't provide any
    SMTP-level filtering, so you're stuck dealing with several hundred
    spam for every one legitimate message after they've already arrived.
