As Gilles says, there's a world of difference between artistic drawing
and technical drawing. I probably mentioned before that I started out
college as an Aeronautical Engineering student - had to take drafting
classes as a result. I was quite good at that - but I couldn't draw
*artistic* images to save my life. I can barely manage a stick figure
that looks good.
But give me a T-square and a drafting set, and I can put a drawing
together of most anything.

Yes, I am. In a funny and yet sad way at the same time.

-3 points for mis-matched quote marks.
+11 points for depiction of elite computer hackery.
