Hi Sean!

(grin) true! But you can read a bit before jumping in, or at least one should..
I remember spending three days reading before I put the system up.. that
included switching from OS/2-Maximus to Linux/BBBS and getting a minimal
Linux/BBBS/li system running so I could transfer mail "safely".  Of course I
had somewhat a bit of responsibility with USRobotics and the FileGate at that
point so I had to.. they were waiting in the wings for me to get the system
back up and running, tapping their fingers...  I vaguely remember telling
everyone in the house that if they bothered me, I would kill them (haha). That
doesn't mean later I didn't make mistakes, of course I did
;)  Like running too many services way back when installs included every
service and leaving every port open on the box (yes, the box got hacked by a
kiddie script).. oh those were the fun days (bg).  But murphy is a sneaky guy..
he waits til you're away from home usually. You know the type of problem.. the
drive that never gave you a problem until it suddenly decides to act up? that
kind of thing ..

The people I connect with in other zones are up and running I'm happy to say.

Omelets are great food - we love them too... A good Frittata is also always a
good comfort food around here, especially in the summer when the garden is full
swing and greens are around.

Geez, now you're making me hungry!

I can understand why!  that does sound incredibly good!

I should tell my Aunt about that place, I bet she would love it too.. She just
moved to Atlanta with my cousin Mark, who I told you is a policeman there in
Atlanta.. Now I have several good reasons to come down to Atlanta to visit. My
aunt Mimi (her full name is Dominica, I always loved her name) was always one
of my favorite Aunts. I used to call here Momma Mimi :)

> Their website is http://www.flyingbiscuit.com.

Great, I can let her know about that and I can check it out as well :)
