Welcome back to dissecting popular IT Nourous Day. We have Matt Donahue on with us. And honestly, I'm really excited about this because you're the IT guy that leaves work every day at three o'clock.

And I think that that's kind of like the dream. That's what everyone wants to do.

So you work at decisive analytics. It's very top secret. We can't talk about what you guys do over

there. And they don't even tell you what you do over there. They just say kind of keep all

this stuff running. That's kind of how I imagine it. But anyways, man, tell me just how you got into IT.

Maybe what was your first computer and what you actually, maybe if you do know what you guys

Um, you know, like where you like would write a program and like in like see basic. It wasn't quite basic. It was like tandy basic. And then you would save it to like a cassette or you'd have to like load games like Pong off a

off a cassette um that those those were good times too that was as all black and white those
