I have been to all the local unix-pc user groups since before the began by a year or so when it was primarily the DOS group. Seldom said a word. Felt it was really over my head. I've been reading these unix-pc usenet stuff for a couple of years, every day. I've been trying to get my unix-pc to work for four years without other than momentary success. Although I have taken my machines to almost all the meetings. Here the other day some guy asks a question on BBS's in the Bay Area. Wow, a question I can finally talk on. Still to afraid to talk on the net, I send the guy off an email and he sends back a "Thanks." I felt wonderful. Thad comes out an flames the thing. Boy!! When you're feeling lower than a snakes heel, someone takes the rock off'n you head, you think "Thank God, a breath of fresh air, and Thad steps on you head. Merry Christmas. alvin Alvin H.
