Just Dropped in to Say Hello

[mhbell]

I just dropped in to say Hello. It's been awhile. I turned 86 years old, on Nov 10th. Still going strong and using Linux Mint everyday as my daily driver. A lot of water under the bridge. As I recall I was one of the first users to join the forum. More years ago than I can remember. LoL! Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving.

At 71 I was feeling old until I read your post. Hope I get to 86 with all me marbles. Best wishes for you in your 86 th year on the planet.

Welcome back, Mel. Scot's forums have been a durable watering hole for me.

Started in 2003, grew rapidly. Even though I jumped in within months, there

were already 700+ of us at that time. One of many personal benefits for me was

finding a group willing and able to patiently tutor me in my early days migrating

from Windows to Linux. I did need some hand holding. Can't say enough how

very much happier I am as a linux user. Windows overhead, especially security

wise, had become oppressive. I started with Ubuntu but eventually switched

to Mint. It's all around the easiest. I recommend Mint to anyone I'm trying to

get to give linux a try.

 

BTW I've reached 75 and am still mobile enough to get up on my roofs (2) and

clean the gutters, repair detached tabs on shingles, etc. And this week I came

out of retirement to take on a project for myself- just a quick and dirty rehab

of my carport to enclose it for use as a storage area. I hope to knock it out in

about 2 weeks, part time. Doing what I can to stay fit. I'm still enjoying life

despite all the craziness we've been living through.
