just how much can you do with?

[Lee A. Stone]

Thanks Kyle   for your suggestions and offering  to work by phone  or
mail. I must admit  years ago when I was starting in a community college
they gave a direct " No" to installing what I'll  speak of as a " talking
computer" in  their building. However I  have  been lucky over many years
to have a Teacher a Friend who  has stayed  the cutting edge, taking me
from Dos and nettamer to where I am today using the best of  Archlinux
Without this teacher I might still be back using dos. Let me also suggest
if you do not already use an externalhard drive   and I say this as I had a
9 year old  computer that just up and died and from there no place to go
except with a lot of help  I have a new
Acer pc which I  love as it has all  the connections you need  right up on
the top and up front. thanks for those who maintain  and keep this list
going. Lee  On

If you want to travel around the world and be invited to speak at a lot
of different places, just write a Unix operating system.
