Well, very close to my feelings also, with a couple of qualifications.
- When I was in the 9th Grade, computers were something that a few people
had heard of, but not many of us thought we would ever see!
- I would have to say "... I've had more fun over the last two years
working
with Linux/390 than I've had *on*a*computer* for a long, long time."

Jill,
Neale's given you the only solution that I know about, so I'll address the
other aspects of your message, namely the excitement. I absolutely know
how
that is! When I got my first Linux/390 system up, I was _very_ excited!
Then, when I got the network to actually communicate, I was very excited
again! I've loved working with computers since I was in the 9th grade.
Learning something new and getting it to work has always been a great
source
of pleasure for me. (Helping other people to do the same thing is another
source. That's one of the reasons I "hang out" here.) So, don't apologize
for having fun and being excited about your work. I tell anyone who will
listen that I've had more fun over the last two years working with
Linux/390
than I've had for a long, long time. I'm happy to see other people having
the same experience.
