Editing Michael Calce (section)

==Early life==
Calce was born in the [[West Island]] area of [[Montreal]], [[Quebec|Quebec, Canada]]. When he was five, his parents separated and he lived with his mother after she had won a lengthy battle for primary custody.<ref name="CalceMichael">Calce, Michael.

Toronto: Penguin Group, 2008.</ref>{{Page needed|date=May 2017}} Every second weekend he would stay at his father's condo in [[Montreal]] proper. He felt isolated from his friends back home and troubled by the separation of his parents, so his father purchased him his own computer at the age of six. It instantly had a hold on him: "I can remember sitting and listening to it beep, gurgle and churn as it processed commands. I remember how the screen lit up in front of my face. There was something intoxicating about the idea of dictating everything the computer did, down to the smallest of functions. The computer gave me, a six-year-old, a sense of control and command. Nothing else in my world operated that way."<ref name="CalceMichael" />{{Page needed|date=May 2017}}
