The voice of the geek girl

And now, a moment of introspection from MacCreator columnist Beth Lock. In this humorous tale of awkward, would-be-geeky adolescence, Lock tells how she mastered the fine art of Hanging Out With The Guys in order to find out what they wouldn't teach her in school: auto mechanics. You don't have to be a tomboy to enjoy reading about how she perfected her grubby outfits and convenience-store diet for the sake of learning how to tune an engine. And, as you may have suspected, these same skills were brought to bear again when Lock decided to start building a relationship with her Mac. From car jock to Mac grok, it's a clever ride--and a familiar one, too. Good reading.
