Since I was little, I've been fascinated with all things technical. And given how far back this goes, that's really saying something! The first computer I ever messed with was a Tandy 80 from Radio Shack. Sure, that's really dating myself, but to be fair, I was twelve. I typed in programs in Basic that I found in the back of computer magazines. Hours, upon hours, of typing so I could play Pong. We saved files to a cassette recorder. Wow, was I excited when we got a Commodore-64. These were the days before eight year old kids walked around with BlackBerrys and even the bag phone was only a sci-fi fantasy.
I cut my teeth on the technical age. I grew up through an era of 8-tracks to iPods. And I love it all. If it's shinier, faster, recently upgraded its OS or just released a new version - - I want to know about it. I enjoy writing about technology, gadgetry and overall geekdom, because I love all that it has to offer. When I started as a writer, I gravitated immediately to my passion for this subject matter. I'm the girl whose family and friends call to ask about the virus on their computer or what is a good digital camera to buy. I embrace it all with welcoming arms.
Hi. My name is Trela Raleigh; I'm a Techaholic and proud of it.
