Your personal background.
Originally a New Yorker, 57 years old (going on 112 and acting like a kid) I retired to Pittsburgh in '90. I got my first PC September 2000 and found Windows ME (affectionately called Moron Edition.)

Windows XP(eXtra Persnickety) came on my Notebook in 2004. While I used UNIX in the 80s at work, the DP (Data Processing was the term then before IT) was a whole department which collectively winced when I entered with a question.
Your opinions about Einstein@Home
The idea of distributed computing is just so cool! Why build a supercomputer when you can break down a problem and work it out together - that is just so beautiful!
