Default Re: "Roll Call" - Introduce yourself

Hi, My name is Pete; I am a somewhat ancient married male as if the name did not imply male.

I am somewhat computer illiterate even though I bought my first computer way back around 1980 (Commodore Vic 20---remember those? LOL). I have used computers ever since all the way from the first IBM compatibles we called them that did not even have a hard driver---my first had two each 5 1/4" floppys (3 1/2" was not made back then.) I think what makes me most computer illiterate is because I have not kept up with the changing names of some of the files like I wonder what some mean when they use a name for a scenario that to me does not imply what it is pertaining to. I dunno why I say this, I guess to let anyone who might be interested to know why I might not understand something.

I hope to become a Premium member or whatever it is called soon, but there are so many that one can subscribe to that it would take The Donald's money to subscribe to them all, and while I am "loaded" LOL yeah right! (maybe I meant drunk there?), I still have to limit my subscriptions----most are probably saying: "What is another $50.00?" But add that $50.00 to all the $100.00 most sites want, and it could be enuf to open a chicken ranch one day.

OK, What I like to do; I am a general fixit guy I guess---No! I do not work on other people's homes or such; just mine, and I love to design and build things.

I love to recycle too.

And I almost forgot to say I used to be fairly political, but I hope I have finally came to the conclusion that it cannot be changed, so why waste my breath. I still vote in every election, but that is about it; I have not even written a letter to editor in maybe a couple of years.

Hope this is not too long, but I guess nobody has to read it.

Pete
