I do the computer stuff when I have to (hard drive swap-outs, minor upgrades) but that's also not much fun anymore.
I still do audio tech tinkering. In fact I just got the adapters I need to outfit a couple of Iriver H320 MP3 players with Compact Flash cards in place of their hard drives. I used to be a Creative fan, and I still have a 32GB Zen and a 30GB Vision:M, but Creative used proprietary formats and hardware specific software and it just wasn't fun anymore.
And I do a lot of LP to digital conversions, cleaning up the audio files, etc. Something has to go on those MP3 players.
And reading. I do a lot of reading.
I missed out on the film era :/
Right now I am using a Nikon D5300 that I got for a good deal on ebay, and I love it.

Ahh, different aspects of audio, I do more live sound and recording, though I am looking into getting a new music player that wil play lossless audio...
