My DMV is the same. Unfortunately, I own a used school bus that I converted to a motorhome and registered as such. The VIN lookup always flags it as an actual school bus and that makes for giant pains in the ass. So far I haven't been able to get an EZ-Pass device for it because they don't issue them to "commercial vehicles".

    I did my first programming on a mainframe with punch cards, then migrated to a TI-59. At some point I was typing little games into my friend's VIC-20, and then I got to take my first real programming class in 9th grade using an Apple IIe. I'm not autistic at all, just nerdy as fuck.

    I still have the TI-59, buried in a box somewhere.

    I've told this story before, but fortunately nobody reads anything I write. I used to work for Comcast, at their HQ in Philly, as a contractor writing mobile apps. One day my boss (from my contracting company) came by my cubicle and said we were going to meet with Time Warner Cable to discuss writing some apps for them. I started to put my coat on but my boss stopped me. We then rode the elevator up to the 16th floor of the Comcast Center where TWC had a suite of offices. This was shortly before the attempted merger between the two companies; I remain surprised that the FCC put the kibosh on it, since the two companies were already effectively merged. I guess sometimes the bribes just aren't big enough.
