I spent most of the early to mid 90's learning all the convoluted nonsense of 
running Renegade and doors and networks, etc... UUCP gated email, Planet 
connect, you name it. Multi-line operation, subscribers, keeping up with all 
the latest warez of the time and whatever.

After an honest reflection on the whole hobby of it all, I conclude that 
maybe I outgrew the long nights of tinkering, messing around with an OS
or experimenting with anything newer than what I run for a board.

I have a successful career in IT, at least I think so... but coming home from 
work I'm dead tired and mentally exhausted, just want to have a cold beer and
relax without dealing with any tech problems.

Once any techie thing of mine is configured and working up to my satisfaction 
its mostly left alone. I built a home rack with commercial-grade routing, 
switches, servers, mesh-Wifi, UPS, proper redundant backups, the works.

Plus I raise a kid on my own... so tech stuff is very low on priorities here.
