Jeff, I started out with computers on an old Apple IIc which didn't even have a hard drive, programs were on a floppy disk. Over the years, I worked my way up and we began using them at work after I was part of a pilot program to see if they were practical.
In all honesty, there were times I was sorely tempted to pull out my service weapon and perforate the darned things or toss one out on the parking lot. At one time I had three computers in my office as not one of them was compatible with the other; one was a windows based one, another an old IBM XT and another was what was called a "dumb terminal" hooked into a central computer.
I like what computers can do, but they can be confounding instruments at times.
Sometimes I have found it best just to "walk away" as things just don't seem to get better and come back refreshed.
