I like my paycheck a lot. Keeping up with the modern "technologies" and
developing
systems on them that big companies will pay lots of money for has allowed me
to
make a good living for the last 25 years or so, and has helped me purchase a
68
acre farm, build a nice home on a 6 acre pond/lake, and send my kid to
college.
That paycheck also allows me to attempt to purchase "Classic Computer"
stuff.
I also have not forgotten that I owe a lot to the older technologies.
That's where I got
started. If I had not met the PDP 11/40 in 1976, I would not be where I am
today.
