I have tried many time to break the leash, dumping almost everything related to electronic gadgetry and computers on several occasions. Only to find it creeping back in. I wonder if you experience this as well. With the career change this should be easier, I also switched almost completely over the the mac which has helped. Until I discovered the OSX86 scene and now have 2 hackintoshes.

I think I am ready for another purge, hopefully this one is more successful.

Good luck!
