A history of my computers, such as they (were?) are:

I'm frequently asked about "utilities" to help solve some computer problem. I've always defined a utility as some small (hmmm...another relative term) piece of software to help accomplish a task. Usually the size is on the order of less than a floppy (the old 5 1/4" 360K floppy disks) but with changes in software and the use of graphical components, I've considered it a little larger. I guess I would have to describe them as something outside the normal realm of major busuiness class software (even though anti-virus and Spyware removal apply here as well!).

On some occasions, I've been asked what some job descriptions are for computer (IT or Information Technology) personnel. I've started to compile this list based upon my own experiences and other people I've asked (who've helped me refine my list). Feel free to browse around in case you are looking for information about specific types of jobs in the IT career field, which is extremely varied.
