Glad to run into the forum. I have perused some of the threads here and people seem quite friendly defying the surly condescending stereotype of a techie. I'm a retired CIO from the US now settled in Thailand and re-inventing myself in my retirement by taking up web design of a friend's websites here. I started out in IT then known as MIS with mainframe computers where we were the kings and departments used to treat us as kings so they could cajole us into putting their request for computing on the top of the list. Then saw advent of minicomputers followed by Apple computer then PC then Mac and the whole computing scene changed. Now technology has accelerated so much that even though I was at the top of my game when I retired writing for computer magazines and being quoted in them, I find myself a beginner at times and my grand children are way ahead of me in certain things. Such is the blessing of our field that it advances so rapidly that none of us have time to take a break.
