| Hi William... As long as all the old timers are ringing in, I figured I should pipe up.� I don't know if I'm the oldest of the old timers, but I must be close. I spent a dozen year as a software engineer at Apple Computer, Inc. many years ago. �I did mostly Apple II and Apple III stuff in assembler including the Installer application for the Apple IIgs, the last Apple II. �I did a couple of small tools for the Macintosh Internationalization group.��I am an enthusiastic Macintosh user.� Macintosh OS X, as you probably know, is built on BSD. I was going to get into Linux a few years ago, but the particular project I was going to get involved in fell through.� Several times, I've started to fiddle with Linux, but never got very far.� Finally, thanks to RLUG attendance in recent times, I'm progressing further that ever before.� Unfortunately, my consulting activities dictate that I must run Mac OS and Windows.� Linux is a fascinating sideline.� Without RLUG, I would have never progressed this far. Beside my many Macs, I have an Acer Aspire laptop which I've set up as a triple boot system with Windows XP, SuSE Linux, and, yet to be installed, FreeBSD.� I also have an AMD box running FreeBSD with a little personal website that I host here in my home-office using dynamic DNS (see URL, below).� I also have a little storage space on the FreeBSD box that I can access remotely on the internet--handy when I'm at a client's site and I forgot something. That's the long version of my introduction at the RLUG meetings. -- "Jay" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Clifford J.
