I haven’t actually used my personal computer for much after graduating from college.

1. To access the internet

2. To download music from Napster and later iTunes and to create mix CDs and later for my iPod

3. To mix music with CoolEdit (bought by Adobe as Adobe Audition) - I was a fitness instructor and created my own 32 bpm beat synchronized music

4. As a home media theater PC (Mac Mini + Front Row) and later a media server (Plex)

My backup was running BackBlaze. When we moved and I decided Plex + bit torrent wasn’t worth the hassle, I did a one time “aws s3 -sync…” and copied my 2TB of media to AWS S3 Glacier Deep Archive in my personal account. I’ve opened my personal computer - that I only bought for a one time contract for a former CTO/friend when I was between jobs for a month.
