| My Computer Desk on Foothill Dr. - circa 1995 |
I found this old Polaroid photo on my desk this morning. I've no idea how it got there. I likely found it in a box, set it on my desk and forgot about it.
It is so weird to think about how long ago that was and how different things were then. How different I was then. It seemed so weird last year when I got a notice that one of my friends, ReNae, from that era was turning 50! FIFTY! That concept still almost makes my head explode!
I so loved that old Macintosh. That clunky old 68000 Microprocessor and Mac OS was so nice.
And that Pentium I computer on the floor with it's guts exposed was the biggest piece of shit EVER! I could never wrap my head around the fact I paid around $2,000 for that pile of junk.
I distinctly remember one weekend I fought with some Windoze upgrade that made it not boot up right. Like I fought with it from Friday night until Sunday afternoon when I was so stressed, I had to fight the urge to toss that fucking thing off my balcony. I was so angry I actually had to leave my apartment and go for a walk down Foothill to calm down.
That was pretty much the start of my hatred for Windows. Windows was pretty much *ALWAYS* a trip straight to HELL for me. I still tried to use it for a couple of more years, until 1998 when I finally got sick of the constant turmoil and started using Linux. I've NEVER regretted it!
Wow, I just realized this year will be the 20th year of being Microsoft free in my home / personal life. Just think of all the viruses, worms and malware I avoided!! :)
Anyway, this song popped up when I was looking for yesterday's song. It has always been one of my favorite Clash songs.
