      Chapter One

      It was a hot day in the city.  It was a good thing the apartments are air conditioned, otherwise I'd be sweating like crazy. 

      My name is Theodore Schultz, and I'm considered a computer geek.  Some people tell me I look like Clark Kent or Superman, without the glasses..  It might have to do with my thick glasses or my attire.  At least they like my looks.

      Currently I work at a computer retail store, Byte By Byte,  as a multimedia consultant.  I help customers set up their system and how to set up their computers. 

      Although we sell IBM-PCs and Macintosh computers (and I know all about their operating systems), my specialty is how to set up audio and video software for a specialized operating system called the Omega 520, which is compatible with the aforementioned other operating systems. 

      Anyway, I happened to be a member of a user group.  So I would share how I created a few multimedia presentations. I create music, art, and even done some low-level programming. 

      One day in one of our meetings, I would create a program that would use a computer that controls the opening and closing of a safe. Basically, the computer software uses facial recognition and a special code to open the safe. 

      This program was created using the software called Digital Pro Maker, which makes creating a kiosk or animation with music very easy. Just following the step-by-step easy process and it's so easy. You won't need to know anything about low-level programming to use it, although if you know it, this program is very helpful, too. 

      My audience was so impressed that I got an ovation.  I would remain humble about it. 

      After the meeting, I was approached by a woman with long red hair.  She looked very slender in her purple sleeveless mini-dress. 

      When she came to me, I couldn't help but smile.  Hello, ma'am.  Did you enjoy the presentations?

      She smiled at me, and then she spoke to me in a very sexy voice.  My name is Joanna Harris. 

      Oh, please to meet you, Ms. Harris. What brings you here to our user group? 

      She smiled again, saying, Before I answer your question, you must call me Joanna.

      After shaking my head in affirmation, I would say, All right, Joanna.  What brings you hear to our user group? 

      Well, Theodore, my manager has heard of you, so she sent me over here to see your demonstration. 

      This surprised me, as I don't get visited by managers of companies before.  Oh, I see.  Who is your manager? 

      She's Madeline Baker, the branch manager of Northwestern Savings and Loan.  Her boyfriend is Jeremy Quinn.

      Now that names rings a bell. He's a member of our user group. Jeremy was a curly-haired guy, slim and trim.  Not a bodybuilder, but just a very thin guy. 

      In fact, Jeremy started walking towards me.  Hey, Ted! 

      So I turned to him and said hello.  Hey, Jeremy.  I taketh you know Ms. Joanna Harris. 

      Oh, yeah, Joanna. I'm glad you made it. 

      Thank you, Jeremy.  I know that Ms. Baker will be pleased when we tell her about this 

      Yeah, I wish Madeline was here to see this demonstration. She would be impressed. 

      This conversation would get me curious.  Let me make sure I'm hearing you correctly, Jeremy.  Your girlfriend is a bank manager, right? 

      Jeremy smiled.  "Yes, she is. 

      So you plan to tell her about my newly-created software program, right?

      Jeremy grinned and answered, Well, we might be able to do better than that.  We were hoping to invite you to come the Northwestern Savings & Loan to do your demonstration for Madeline. 

      Now I thought to myself, what a great opportunity to show off my new software program. However I had to ask, Just out of curiosity, what computer systems are you currently using? 

      Joanna would answer, Oh, all of our computers are running Windows 11. I'm not very knowledgeable about computer systems." 

      Smiling, I responded, Well, that helps. I can bring the PC version of my program with me. When do you want me to show up? 

      Jeremy started to laugh as he nodded his head., and then he answered, I tell you what, Ted. I'll talk to Madeline and then we'll give you a call  Okay? 

      Fair enough, I said as I shook his hand.. Guess I'll see you in the next meeting two weeks from now. 

      Of course, I would shake Joanna's hand and tell her, Joanna, it was a pleasure to meet you. 

      She smiled and then she kissed me on my cheek before she left.  I didn't expect that. 

      Suddenly a voice shouted, Hey, Ted, did you find a girlfriend? 

      When I turned around, it was Marlin Sterling.  Marlin was a 50-year-old man, bald on the top, portly, wearing a blue-collar shirt, white pants and tennis shoes. 

      Hey, Marlin. You enjoy today's meeting? 

      Oh, it was fascinating. I knew computers are great for creating art, music, and kiosks, but man, I never knew it could do something like that. 

      Of course, Marlin. You'd be surprised to know what you can do with a PC when you know about low-level programming.

      Marlin smiled and said, I know nothing about low-level programming. All that if, then, else, x equals y or all that. I'm too damn old to learn all that. 

      That would make me laugh a little bit.  You believe in leaving the programming to the young folks, right. 

      He'd laugh, too, saying You know what I'm thinking. I'd rather just buy the software. Besides, I only use my PC for writing letters to my friends.

      Come on,, Marlin. You play some games with it, too, don't you? 

      He paused for a moment, and then said, Okay, I play the sports games, like MLB, NFL, NHL,.... Yeah, I admit it. 

      That's okay, Marlin.  Not everyone can be into low-level programming.  Anyway, thanks for coming, dude. 

      He did a fist-pump shake, and then said, Okay. Oh, by the way, who was that hot babe that kissed you on the cheek? 

      Oh, she works for Jeremy's girlfriend at Northwestern Savings & Loan. Can you believe she and Jeremy wanted me to demonstrate this setup? 

      I'm not surprised.  You're a genius. See you later. 

      Once I waved goodbye to him as he was leaving, I would take apart my stuff and then pack it inside my car. I happen to drive a red Volkswagen Jetta. 

      Before I left, I felt someone put her arms around me. I could tell it was a her because the fingernails have polish and I can smell her perfume.
