Well, there are some days when I cannot imagine how life could have gone on without a computer. Or two. Or three. There was even a time when there were as many as five!
Since the very early 1980’s, I’ve owned everything from a VIC-20 with a 300 baud modem and a cassette tape drive to my current Sony VAIO and Dell XPS-410. Everything from Commodore’s operating systems to Windows 3.1, 95, 98, ME (which is one I want to forget) and XP. In the last couple of months, I’ve eliminated Windows from my systems and they are both happily running Ubuntu 7.10 a.k.a. Gutsy Gibbon, a very user-friendly Linux distro.
In 1984, I began experimenting with forum administration and opened my first forum site on a phpBB2 installation. It only took about 6 months to see it was time to move on and I imported that site into vBulletin 3.0.5. Through the years, I’ve added domains, sites and forums and currently own and operate three live vBulletin forums, with another vBulletin forum and a phpBB3 forum running on a test site.
So I have my days with computers. Some are really great and then there are the ones that make me want to toss all the computers out onto the street.
So, stick around and you’ll be able to read about the ups and downs I experience.
