First /3 years later - Linux setup ( is it really 22 years since no 1?)

Hi Verity,

You were the only other female software engineer in the '80's I ever met, You comforted me with Hash Bags, and warned me about Count Zero.

I still have my 'Born to Compile' T shirt,

I have discovered a new strategy!

I have several good friends who pride themselves on their knowledge, and enjoy demonstrating same;

I am a very good cook,

The current offer for my (new ) linux install will be for a home server to do all the multi media.

is:

Starter:

Coquille St Jacques - Scallops in sauce

Main:

Wild Salmon en croute - Salmon in pastry with veg.

Pudding:

Strawberry and Cream Profiteroles with Belgian Chocolate Sauce.

(intended target is a fishy veggie - won't eat anything that escaped the primordial soup, likes pudding)

I find this approach very effective, I can cook whilst they mutter, and listen to their triumphant explanation of what went wrong - and how they fixed it, in the sure and certain knowledge that they won't be able to resist the challenge of 'Whatever it Was' to come back and fix it, and try some Choux au crabe with Hollandaise Sauce, with Special Ginger pudding and Custard afterwards.
