Computer thought..
I used to run down people for using macs.. ataris.. windows.. whatever platform I wasn’t using.
Since then, I’ve used all those things and found them good. I think whatever computer tool you’re using.. if it’s doing what you want it to, it’s a good one. If it’s limiting you, reach for a better tool.
I used to hate XP, because it checked in with microsoft. Now, I feel if you want to use XP, use it. If you understand the limits and dangers, and are willing to trust microsoft, feel free. I plan on getting a XP machine myself, to add to my stable.. I feel like I can’t be a good computer geek and not try out every platform/arch and every language and every OS as it comes my way.. and I feel like refusing to see/learn a new one is the path towards becoming old and obsolete.
Not learning new things.. that is my real enemy. Fear of new and unknown experiences is not good for me. Sheer wants to continue to dance not only on the dancefloor, but at the keyboard. (And in the bedroom! ;-))
So, I like to try new things, but I like to continue to use the old ones as well. Especially when they are good. ANd I want to meet new people.. but I want very much to keep touch with the many wonderful people I’ve already met.
Sooner or later I will run out of time. Until then, I will live.
I love you, Kayti! (just in case you’re reading)

Sounds fairly hopeful.
Here’s wishing you a Happy New Year — and, really, a happy year ahead.
