This has been well demonstrated by the series of articles run in IQLR describing how different QLers use their systems. To further illustrate this impression, and with the hopes that others will find similarities in their use of QL systems, I have agreed to contribute my own *how I use my computer’ story. This article will attempt a chronological type flow. I have structured it to follow my exposure to computers from the first. Hopefully, this approach will prove to be both interesting and perhaps a bit entertaining.
