OK here. BTW, where's Skippy?

Wish I could ;/

I've been mostly lurking since the CND days circa 1995?, and have enjoyed 
all of the good information coming across the wire - loved the Evan/Donny 
wars, and "Ric's hot soup" - not to mention Skippy's adventures, and the 
submarine somewhere near Norfolk Island, IIRC.

I started with an interest in a UNIX of some sort for PC hardware, having 
worked with SGI IRIX for awhile, and stumbled on Linux and CND. I've 
accumulated a lot of valuable information from the list, and hate to see it 
go down the eternal bit bucket. I have a modest stash of old e-mails from 
the "old days" that I could recall if it would be useful somewhere.

Hope to see the list continue, and perhaps add new people as well.

73,
