我从一个朋友那儿借了一台电脑(早期的苹果II型机)来自动化我刚起步的家庭业务。很快，我发现自己沉浸在网络生活的前沿。

I borrowed a friend's computer (an early Apple II with modem) to automate my fledgling home business, and soon found myself immersed in a frontier of online life.

实际上，我靠网络生活，很多时候我在网上所做的事情与学习有关。但是，也有很大部分实际上无关。

I practically live on the Web, and a lot of what I do here is learning related, But, of course, a lot of it really is not.
