I am a technical person. I run systems, design server farms, get woken up at 3AM to save a late night release. Yet I find myself more unwilling to spend time fooling with personal technology. The cost just seems to high.
Take my "conversion" to Macintosh as an example. I wanted a *nix based system that I could use for multi-track recording and code/admin work. I spec'd a nice Dell and a Lenovo, figured out the vendor to do the Linux install, but at the last minute decided to look at Apple. When I thought about the need to do any actual maintenance I decided that Apple was the way to go. I wanted to spend my time recording not patching linux kernels. May be I am getting old. Maybe I am lazy. Could be. I wonder though, if the realization that I only have 6 years left till I am "childless" is the real reason. God I hope so.
