 I didn't have my first drink of coffee until my sophomore year in
 college. I remember thinking "Hey, I could get into this..."

 Junior year, I was traveling into San Francisco to a little coffee
 shop that sold French and Viennese roast beans for $3.99 a pound, and
 running a Braun Aromaster coffee pot for 3-4 pots a day in a group
 house - and somehow it held up to the duty cycle of a small diner.

 I was a computer science major, and some school resources were
 constrained. I took an assembly language course that had 4 modem
 ports and 4 terminals in a lab - for close to 100 students. I'd learn
 to work all night, go to morning classes and crash for a couple of
 hours at noon. Coffee fueled that.

 Always black.

 Fast forward to today, and my morning routine, as it's been since
 1991, is having a cup of coffee before the house wakes up, and
 reading a QWK packet.
