Dear proxymoon,

I'm so glad you clarified all this for me. This must explain why my old windows 98 just started working again just about perfectly. During Merc rx no less. It's nice to be communicating on the same wavelength.

So HELLO! What's shakin', what's groovin' ? Everything I hope!

Love,
PD

Hey,

My intoo detected a call from the wild.

Well, Fedora 12 is the front runner and all the free software one could use in a life time is a dream.
So there ya go, a 12'th house PiecesDream, ah, er.

Window 98 is a zombie. That's why it came back to life.

I'll take your picture and post it on the internet. uooo, aaaaww, ewwwww. That will teach you to use FAT.

PDX

Hiya,

This FATso is alive and kicking, just "zombie-like." I kid you not!!!!!!

"Don't Laugh It's Paid For" ... well at least except the electricity ...

I looked good in that old picture!

Maybe we can have a Halloween party around here this year!

Hope my future lives are all past lives as I am this techno dummy.
