Personally I used to have computers as a hobby, but I've been working with them for three years now and the hobby/geek inside me is slowly fading away, I'm mostly using the computer now.

	(...) Always an entertaining question :) I suspect that you'll find a lot of us are hardcore computer users, and I'm no exception.

	Art: Usually pencil, colored pencil, pen & brush ink, or water color. I had the huge whiteboard at work filled with drawings of my co-workers, so I suppose I'm a dry-erase artist, too <g>. This may move back from being a hobby to being my profession (...) (22 years ago, 15-Mar-02, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

		(...) You are probably one of the few people here who go back farther in RPGs than me (I started RPGs in 1977). I started war games back sometime in the early 70s with a copy Tactics II.

By the time I had saved up enough to pay for half (my dad picked up the other half) we had decided on the 8-bit Atari system. Around that time I got an old CPM machine and (...)
