I was never attracted to computers, even thought the post Sputnik school system hijacked me and railroaded me into science (which has left me very cynical about the education system).

I got involved with these infernal machines because I needed them to do things I wanted to do (writing and organizing). Unfortunately they were nowhere near ready for job back then, and trying to use them anyway led me into my current career. They still aren't ready for use, but at least they can do some of the jobs now.

I do intend to escape from this insanity, if only the computers would leave me enough time to do so - but that won't take me completely from the screen and keyboard, because I will still need them for what I originally got involved with them for.
