Hi!

The title is a quote from a reply by MikeTbob in one of my threads.

For me, this reflects the very friendly and helpful spirit that has made me continue to stay here in the forums. To all those who have helped me, and I will not dare mention names lest I forget some, (just check my threads to know who they are ....Thank you all & Congratulations!

I look forward to the day when I can also share what ever little I know to others. I gave myself 60 months since the time I started, 9 down and 51 more to go,

rama time!

We all love messing with Linux, if we can convert a few people along the way then that's alright with me. You'll be a guru in no time.

So here's a from me, as well!

A few more...

me three... I've belonged to many computer bbs's for the last 20 some odd years, and this has been the best. I remember how intimidated I was the first time I ....GULP..." went into setup to change the boot order, to boot from disk" I had visions of the computer catching on fire, or a worm hole forming in my room and ending planet earth. lol . I understand when i see new users having some reservations about makeing the leap. I've come a long way since my first post in here. thanks to all of you.

I think that's what makes this such a nice place for newbies....we all know what it's like to mess with your system for the first time in a way that most computer users would never dream of and we make it okay to be afraid, intimidated and confused. I think people come here and see other people that are just as bewildered as they are and that makes it okay to be a little freaked out by the whole "Just install Linux" campaign. So in my opinion you new guys are just as important as some of the old timers around here.
