Hi,



Snipped out good stuffs just to say hello.

(There are also couple of messages from author of commercial patch...)


Once again thank you. Over the years I've traveled throughout the 'net and
the domain layout (and some authors there) are familiar but that site was
not in my favorites. While I admit the content is currently above my level
(I have not slept in a day and a half or so but I am GOING to get VPC
figured out even if it kill me) the link you gave me reeks of geek content
seldom found these days. Since the invasion of the body-snatchers I'm not
sure where the deep technical tidbits of otherwise worthless information
(face it, who really really really needs 48 bit LBA on 9x when partitioning
makes more sense) that used to abound. This site was, as I mentioned, not in
my favorites and it is now. I can imagine that I'll waste many hours (are
they really wasted?) there and hopefully learn a thing or two.

Regards, Roman


Of all the silly things this has done is it has given me further cause to
figuring out a decent, acceptably filtered, method of creating a shared
favorites folder. I think, perhaps, a box setup with the many sites I've
collected, asking donations from other people who'd like to contribute,
filtering them somehow, and then using the export feature of IE might do the
trick. It sounds like a bit of work but it has it's merits... Something to
think about adding to the site though for something like that I'd want a
dedicated box. (Hardware is not an issue for something like that. I'd just
not want it to be confused with my own mishmash of favorites) Ah well...
See? Now you've given me two good sites and an additional reason to mull
that same silly idea over again.

Regards to you too.
