...and I can't put a finger on when I started posting, other than it was back in the Infoworld days. The small computer chain I worked for (Lucky Computers, long since gone) had the glossy delivered on a regular basis; I'm guessing I jumped in via osmosis. 'twas young and dumb (and unaware of some particular quirks of my brain structure that led to some rather uninformed choices being made) and have grown quite a bit since then; unfortunately, it's mostly around the middle.
