I did not get a computer until 1998. I kept that one for over a decade. I saw one giant computer when I was in High School, with the big real to real tape job in front. When I went to upgrade, the young sales man said to me, "why don't you build one?" I said I don't know that much about computers. He sad, "you build custom motorcycles, you can build a computer!" It took some time to learn how to get the operating system to work the way I want, but it was worth it. I have stopped calling India, I found out I was better at solving my problems then they were. They are just machines, they do what you want them to do, no more and no less. I don't text, but I do like having the internet with me, I don't get lost any more. Just today it saved me hundreds of dollars, when I was having electrical problems I could not figure out, just spoke into it and all my prayers were answered!
