Since I was a little kid, I'd watch my mother's boyfriends work on our computer, using good ol' MSDOS, and just watch, fascinated by all of the little things they were doing. I loved it and, to this day, remains one of my favorite childhood memories.
Maybe that's why I'm such a geek.
Today a technician has come in to fix our bookeye scanner which has been having problems starting up from a cold start for the past week or so. He's got the bloody thing open, complete with mobo, fans, HD, and, I'm guessing, CPU and memory, but I have to do the damn books. I would seriously just quit my job if I could only watch over his shoulder as he fixed the damn machine. I want this so bad it feels like my heart is being pulled out of my chest.
It's such a tease! Don't tempt geeks with tech!
Sigh. To work then, I suppose...
