Between Past and Future

There's always that funny time between what I've always known and what I'm charging off toward that really excites me and scares the living hell out of me in equal measure.  Here and now is one of those times on many different fronts including my health, my career, and my computer.  I've been at crossroads before.  I've bridged this same gap before and even done so on these same issues.  But I don't think I've ever done them all at the same time.

It's about Trust... and Pride

My computer is all fucked up again.  You know, for a guy that likes computers... for a a guy that used to work as a computer tech and got paid well for it... I'm starting to think that I'm just bad at this.

I think to really prep this, I need a recap of my computer lore.  This won't go into to much depth but as I have to read through a bunch of posts just to remind myself of my computer journey, I figure you loyal readers will have to have the same journey.  My first computer was back in junior high school.  I guess technically it wasn't mine and instead was the family's computer.  But it was mine.  A shiny brand new several thousand dollar Commodore 64 with a tv/monitor and all manner of accessories. After many years of wonderful service (and being replaced a couple times) it was replaced with an Amiga 500.  that was a beast of a computer.  It was also the bowing out point for my parents as they realized what it would take to 'keep up' with computers.
