I have dedicated myself to my family for over 30 years. I made sure my 3 sons could make it in the world honorably. I guess I am able to start on the sons’ kids, now. It looks like the dedication to my family will run for another 15 years. Then I look forward to a well deserved rest. Since parenting doesn’t count, my next most invested situation was in computers. I administer networks, Windows Workstations, Linux Workstations and do Cybersecurity. Linux since Slack and Yggisdrill distributions. I guess you could say I am dedicated to screen time. I even wear blue-blocking glasses.

My wife rants a lot about the inefficiencies of the IT infrastructure in Singapore. Is Japanese IT infrastructure superior in your experience?

I haven’t been to Singapore. The closest I got was Thailand. My experience of Japanese IT predates the internet for the most part. Is ran a 386 Windows3.0 laptop by using batch files to compress and uncompressed the programs on the computer to use them, due to the small disk and no math counter. I was on the FIDONet bulletin board system using a very slow modem. I don’t think you would want me to compare that to today’s IT experience!! I did not get on to the internet until ‘97. I was working for a large company with multiple sites connected by the internet using SunSolaris machines. I cannot compare the two IT systems.
