In conversation yesterday, the topic of growing up around computers came about. I have always had what seems to be a knack for technology, to such a degree that, out of high school, I would occasionally make house calls to set up printers, home entertainment systems, and computers. Really, though, at least part of that “knack” stems from getting a head start on technology. Before everyone had computers at home, my dad was in a computer club and, no doubt, we were among the fi
