If you wanted to build the most powerful computer you could, you can't do better than including everything in the universe that's potentially available.

Most computers today have built in backup software.

Most software today is very much like an Egyptian pyramid with millions of bricks piled on top of each other, with no structural integrity, but just done by brute force and thousands of slaves.

Computers are hierarchical. We have a desktop and hierarchical files which have to mean everything.

My wife handles all of our technology. So if something goes wrong with the computer, I throw up my arms and step aside while the IT gal figures it out.

Computers are famous for being able to do complicated things starting from simple programs.

I detest computers. If you had a device like that 30 years ago that froze up constantly, misbehaved constantly, lost your information and screwed up when you needed it the most, it would have been laughable.

Most of my work may happen at a computer, but it's still a new and very exciting frontier.

I took this 'how to build computers' course basically because I'm sick and tired of getting ripped off by cheesy computer companies. Software baffles me. I like hardware. I used to change my own oil, and now I want to build my own computer so I can have what I want.
