Also.. I have to put a disclaimer on the -Technobum- word.
It was first coined by my friends back home and I.

We were talking about what exactly the word Cyberpunk meant.  When I think
of a cyberpunk, I think of someone is so awesome at technology and can
do anything with computers, and someone who spends most of their time
finding new and better ways of using technology and computers.

We all agreed, we dont really find new or better ways at doing things..
but pretty much bum around with computers.  Thus the word Technobum was
coined.

It is meant to be the Cyberpunk counterpart.
