Agreed. Being PC has morphed into pure silliness. Letter carrier, chair-person, fire fighter. Sometimes at work I'll let my true colours through and refer to someone as a lady.....oh boy.....the steely looks I get:-) I'm too old fashioned I guess. I try not to offend people, but, I'm not always successful.

It's a nickname for a beer I like to drink, why I started using that as a handle I have no idea. I've used hitest for 3-4 years now and am kind of used to it.....the handle I mean:-)

annoying

Agreed, shanenin's idea will work very well. What distro were you considering installing?

Agreed. I'll wait until it is offered in my Windows updates then I'll get it. Hopefully they'll have all bugs worked out by then. Until then I'll use FF.

I'm glad you're here too man! I was used to the other one too. Besttechie is my home now. Good people, good times!

Hey Pete_C good to see you, man! I finished all of my European beer last night......great stuff. Gotta go buy some more. I think I'll have a cold one here instead:-)

Parthenon

I like a medium brew myself. It's not like I'm addicted to coffee.......well because I can quit any time I want to..........

I'm pretty sure he has rigged up a nuclear power supply for his dual processor G5 computer. That computer rocks:-)

You're probably right as I haven't seen Shadow_Lord here yet.

Nice minimilist desktop. Gnome on Gentoo?

Thanks for the post, Chappy! A very well-written letter indeed; you are a man of honor. I'm glad you're a senior admin here. Yes, agreed, it's time for the hostility to stop. It is time to move on.

I've been a Stones fan since they started out. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Me too! The Stones rock!
