Re: Welcome to the Forums - Introduce yourself here
Hallo, everybody.....I'm yet ANOTHER Mike.
I've been playing about with these things since the late 70's. Started out with a Sinclair ZX80 (gawd, what a horrible 'keyboard'), and soon graduated to something with a proper one .....a Commodore 64.
Lost track of the machines I've used over the years. I've used MyCrudSoft all the way from 3.1 through to Win 7 (didn't like it, OR Vista (who did?)). I decided to try Linux back in late April this year; downloaded a bunch of different distros (Fedora, OpenSuse, Ubuntu, Zorin, various Puppies.....Mint, LinuxPC OS; the list goes on...). Figured out early on that Ubuntu was really easy to work with, and I'm one of those odd folk who actually like Unity!
I migrated fully back in May.
I look after an elderly relative full-time, so it gives me a bit of spare time to indulge one of my favourite hobbies. I've been really impressed with the level of expertise in these forums, along with a LOT of friendliness, and a general willingness to help other folk out.....you're a great bunch. I hope I can manage to give back as much to the community as I've already received; I don't for a moment doubt that I shall be learning up until the day I start pushing the daisies through...!
Just wanted to say "hi", and to tell everybody....I'm hooked.
Regards,
Mike.
