    Why do you have a computer?

    Computers are nearly in every home, so what do you mainly use yours for?
    We should include tablets and other connected devices.

    Just an iPhone. No use for a computer. I use it to keep in touch with my family who I spend too much time away from. I also use it to get on forums and waste my time away on.

    I remember the day I was 1st introduced to a computer.

    Of course, being 54 years old, I never grew up with one and my wife and I don't have kids, so my contact with one was rare and my use of one was zero. I worked as an engine reconditioner at Watson Racing Cams for 7 years and that period of time coincided with the computer boom for home and small business use, so I didn't need to use one for work either.

    I bumbled through life without needing one for a few more years until one day my wife came home from work with a car load of computer bits. The place where she worked had upgraded and we became the proud owners of a '386' desktop computer. I was scared sh#tless of it and it sat in our spare room for years with a plastic computer cover on it.

    Until....

    I had relaunched my sporting career and was getting some assistance from the A.I.S who were heavily into the use of heart rate monitors, which I found extremely useful. The coach started asking for all my heart rate details and just expected that I knew how to download the HRM and print the graphs. I had no idea what he was talking about, let alone that the HRM could be connected to a computer. He was insistent that I must send him all my training data and I didn't even know where the 'On' button was on the computer (or that my '386' was already a dinosaur!)

    Obviously I've made a bit of progress, but there's still a lot about these things that scare me.....
    Vans.... This is the 2nd time round the block, 40 years later! talk about turning back the clock!
