My primary obsession is religion, however, computers make up the balance of my thoughts.

I have always been obsessed by electronics and computers, from a very early age. The first book I ever took out of the library at age 7 was about electricity. That doesn't make me very savvy, though, I still need plenty of help when it comes to technical issues... :?

Heck yes!
My pride and joy is my new Mesh computer. It's a Power PC, and it's awesome. I can finally run Photoshop CS2, Flash Professional 8, FrontPage 2003, DreamWeaver, Fireworks, Last FM, K-Lite, AND hold IM chats and play online games and download a 300MB torrent all at once without even a hint of slowdown :) 2GB RAM plus dual graphics cards and 500GB HD... I bet some people have even better, but it's a HUGE improvement on my last machine (512MB RAM, 70GB HD, yuck).
My other babies are my two MP3 players. Well, one is more of a portable media center. They are my Creative Zen Touch, and my Archos GMini 402.
I'm also very attached to my Nintendo DS and my digital camera, but my babies are my computer and MP3 players.
I'm also a little obsessed with small aircraft, if that could fall under 'electronics' due to the engineering. I love technical stuff :P

Yup

I own a computer repair business ... I usually have someone working for me to deal with the people while I fix the computers ... I also am a programmer and web developer. and until I was diagnosed I was a network admin in the Air Force.

I actually hate computer repair ... but I'm soooooo stinking good at it ... arrgh it's the only way I can make a living.

I'm working on a trading card game that involves viruses, hacking, and network security etc ... just trying to determine how realistic to make it ... used a prototype for training etc ...

... X ...

Yup I'm obsessed with computers. I don't know why I adore them and am so obsessed over them.
