What do you like about this subject?  The constant requirement for research and, thus, advancement of my knowledge. The occasional thanks when a problem is solved.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  Please take the time to provide detail so I don't have to ask you a bundle of questions. You came here for a quck fix didn't you? I am not a geek. I am an experienced professional computer/applications user who has to deal with system and application problems amongst a diverse user base daily. I will try not to bore you with detail (unless asked).
