In fact, I'm starting to get sick of computers in general...
I only got interested in computers about 5 years ago, and my interest is still increasing - so much to learn.

More specifically, I hate the lifestyle where I am predominantly in front of the screen... I want to switch careers and wash my hands of the Information Technology industry.

I am on the same boat (again) as harishankar. I think I've even mentioned before in this forums that I would ratter be a farmer or a fisherman or maybe work with tourism or something. Sitting in the office all day, for the money they pay me...

Ah, with me it's a hobby. I suppose it's different if you're working at it too. I'm more or less unofficially retired (AKA unemployable due to age), but I've always worked in engineering machine shops.
