RTFM – That’s what I do!

Spending the day on the couch actually reading a manual. And tomorrow I’ll do the same. What makes me read a manual two days in a row you think? Am I a slow reader? I’m reading the teacher manual for Microsoft Learning course 6423 – Implementing and Managing Windows Server 2008 Clustering. On Wednesday it’s time to step into the classroom and hopefully deliver a course that will make the students learn something, have a good time and will make me learn something too.

Tomorrow I’ll take a break in the reading and go to IT-Gymnasiet in Rissne as part of my membership in Transfer. I’ll be talking about why one would choose to work with IT, how to succeed and about motivation/inspiration and stuff like that. Have prepared a presentation to show the students that technology goes a lot faster than they think. When they grew up, my fastest internet connection reached 5% of what 3G does today. And it cost about 4 times as much. My first computer cost $3500 and had about the same CPU-power as my iPhone has today.

What’s your favourite old technology memory?
