        I’m really thinking about it. Would have to bite the bullet and actually change my internet service. I’m still using dial-up, but only because it’s so convenient (the business is here in town). Otherwise, I never use my landline. It’s pretty much always connected to the internet. So one of these days…

          Thank you so much to everyone for being so welcoming and supportive of me in my acknowledgement of this addiction called geocaching. Can’t say I intend to kick it any time soon. The Marsh Master was great (the rain was fun) and it was terrific spending all that time with Team Lightningbugs (Mom & son).

                              hmmmm….I’d say the term “geek” applies to me, not so sure about the “techno” part. The first computer our family had was a Vic 20 and my brother and I loved to play the text adventure games. We got a few other computers after that, but I really didn’t use them until I got to college and did a lot of word processing. I started using the internet in the early 1990s, mostly just chat rooms (IRC), and just sort of progressed from there.

                              I have 2 computers that I use: a Mac and a laptop running Windows XP. The laptop is mostly for school and geocaching uploads. I have a PDA but have yet to get everthing all installed onto the laptop (I had lots of trouble interfacing with the Mac). I am an email freak. I almost never use the phone, and everyone who knows me, knows to email me before making any phone calls. I actually brought my old iMac to work to use rather than trudging down to the computer labs. I do almost all my paperwork on the computer, as well as most of my communication. My supervisor even instant messages me rather than calling, as she knows that’s my preferred form.

                              My biggest issue is that I’ve never really learned how to use computers — never took any sort of computer class. Everything is trial and error. And sometimes lots of errors. I’m lucky that my brother is a genius, with a degree in computer progamming and working for a company that provides tech support to companies worldwide. I can always call him (gotta use the phone for this!) and he will tell me how to fix my computer. Eventaully though, I get it all figured out. Might go faster if I ever read instruction manuals too (nah!)

                              I own lots of gadgets though. And lots of people at work ask me questions about how to do things on the computer, rather than going to our computer geek team. And it frightens me that I can usually answer their questions.

                              I don’t know. Guess I’d be the techno geek wannabe….
