A lot of it's very true indeed.

But not the part about not enjoying it and finally giving it up. When I was
at Columbia ESD in St. Helens serving five districts and to some extent when
I moved to Northwest Regional ESD serving 20 districts (informal Mac support
mainly), I enjoyed and loved every minute of helping folks solve their
computer problems.

Wouldn't have given it up voluntarily for any reason.
