I know kitanzi would murder me in my sleep if I started dragging junk like this into the house, but…

Steve Wozniak OK’s Apple I replicas

My first computer was an Apple ][, and I adored it. I used it up until it finally gave up the ghost sometime in 1991, and replaced it with an Amiga. I didn’t actually own a PC until 1994, when I began teaching computer applications and programming at a business school in Athens, GA, and found it useful to have the platform I was teaching at my home. And the whole history of computers is a fascination for me. Too cool!

Just now, talking to my co-worker eloren:

Me: So, what cardinal rule did I just break, regarding working on a server that you have had to remove the case?

eloren: Don’t ever put the case back on until you’re sure it’s in working order?

Me: Right. See, I like to lead by example. This is an example of something not to do. 🙂

For anyone who is wondering, I am still planning on answering the last set of questions, and also write up the last two weekends. I could say I’ve been busy at work, but eloren knows better than that, so I’ll just admit I’ve been lazy and procrastinating. (That goes for those of you I owe e-mail to as well. Bad me.)

There’s something very Norman Rockwellian about yard sales. I’ve always enjoyed going to them and browsing through the accumulated flotsam and jetsam of a strangers life. Of course, I always feel a little guilty where there’s absolutely nothing the person has that I actually want. It’s like I feel I’ve wasted their time and hopes looking over everything and judged them wanting in some regard. “Nope, sorry, there’s nothing here I want. Why don’t you have nicer things? What? Oh, you got nicer things, and that’s why you’re getting rid of all this lot. Well, call me the next time you have a yard sale, then.”
