[ Yes, because Betty isn't a total science nerd or anything. Please. ]
Good on you. i did too, around your age. Well, it wasn't a computer like the ones you see now, we didn't really have those back then. As you can probably tell, I'm not exactly young.
[ Personal computers weren't exactly a common thing in the 80's, and Bruce's father made a point to keep anything he loved out of his reach. He'd fiddled around with a couple of small things, kept them hidden underneath a loose floorboard in his bedroom, but otherwise it was only when he was living with his aunt that he got to truly delve into the things he loved to do. And aunt Susan had never been anything but supportive, which had been... weird, but a nice change nonetheless, even if it didn't erase any of his pain, or how much he missed his mother.
As for Cadel going about his life somewhat unsupervised, it doesn't bother Bruce as much as it does Betty. Probably because he's showing to be unusually smart and advanced for his age, and probably because to a degree, Bruce sees himself in this kid. And he'd never truly had anyone back then, or at least that's what it felt like. ]
