Are you people really as friendly as you claim? :)

No, at the time and place (30 years ago in north Africa) that was a term of endearment!

I worked on a project where the construction fire crew were all from Newfoundland - great bunch, sober or otherwise!

Excellent! ... & you're not the first person to note our complete lack of aversion to alcohol.

Welcome! Now bugger off

. Sorry couldn't resist. BTW I'm finding out that it doesn't matter if you have little or a lot of time: Linux will take it all, and still want more.

I had no idea you were that old, astrogeek.

Howdy, Jefro!

... & I had no idea Astrogeek was in North Africa. He's a man of many mysteries... unless he's a woman.

The polite thing is to not ask...

Although I admit to being a disagreeable recluse, I don't think of myself as old (usually), although I don't really know the guy who lives in my mirror these days.

I am not there now, but spent quite a bit of time from the Atlas mountains to the Persian Gulf, and a lot of other places!

I even lived a couple of years in Dugan's backyard, Sidney BC.

I'd put my disagreeability, reclusiveness & geriatric status up against any of you guys.
Anyone feel like takin' me on?

Nflder · 02-24-2015, 12:41 AM

& I saw Casablanca a couple o' times... OK, not the same as livin' in Morocco, but it's all I got.

24 replies to my Introductory post... is there some sort of prize for that?
If so, I hope it's the solution to my 1280x1024 resolution problem... as nice as it's been chattin' with you guys.

Welcome aboard.

Nflder · 02-24-2015, 04:14 AM

Thanks, FatMac. Looks imposing... but she's bookmarked & ready to go!

Nflder · 02-24-2015, 04:26 AM

What the hell is a "Rute User", I wonder?

sundialsvcs · 02-24-2015, 06:42 AM

Oh, no no no. Everybody else here is a real, industrial-strength "

" .

Except me. I'm real nice.

Well, you had to ask. Welcome!
