Excellent point
"If you've got a hobby or pastime (that does not involve computers), ..."
Many of us are in this business because we start using computers as hobbies (or in school for our younger members) and chose IT as a career based on those early experiences. That can lead to building home networks, loading new OS's and apps at home, studying for certification tests, etc. I've found it very beneficial to do have a couple of interests that don't involve technology at all. These help me get completely out of the work mindset that otherwise gets carried over to my home technology toys. In my case they're gardening and birdwatching, but others here are into needlecrafts and playing musical instruments.
