A Mac has invaded my house!

28. The thing is that, for me, they're all transparent.

But, I've been screwing with the damned things for over 30 years, now, and have followed through every change and improvement, and have coped with just about everything. I don't care any more. I used to run a PC user's group of about 150 people. I did that for 12 years, and walked people through the whole process of getting competent with the things over and over again.

Finally, though, I stopped being interested in the technology, at about the Windows 95 launch time. It stopped being interesting to me at that point and became just another familiar tool. I basically dropped out, then, although I kept writing for PC World until about 2002. I decided to do something else. I shut down my little one-man shareware company, dropped out of the user's group, stopped writing about computers, and moved on with my life.

Now, I just use the things. I don't care about what's inside any longer. That's because it doesn't really matter any more. They're all the same, really. They all work the same. They all look the same. From smart phones to any other sort of computing device, you can finally just use them.

I still understand what's inside, but I don't care any more.
