Best wishes back at you lot as well, crikey I managed to type that without
a mistake sorry but I've had 2 glasses of Leibrf sp you know that wine,
and as I don't drink usually after the first one my head was woozy and I
still had to dish up Christmas pud

Thought I'd pop in here while I drink my 2nd cup of real coffee with
double cream floating on top g

Good to see you still around. Enjoy yourself and humbug aside, enjoy
your mince pie(s) but careful with the cooking sherry.

Merry Crimbo back at you and also to anyone else passing by this NG
today!

Kind of sad how for the last few years this group has been virtually
empty Crimbo Day. It used to be almost IM (which I don't use, which
maybe made it seem a bit more special? I suppose the appeal of IM is
the feedback carrot).

I think the microsoft.public.windowsme groups were invigorating
because despite being IMO the best 9x version, it was (and still is)
widely disliked (there are *some* advantages to Conformity). So they
were never oversubscribed, dominated by the intolerant and
egomaniacal types who do and always have dominated the XP, Vista and
presumably now Windows 7 groups.

It is rather as if this has been a 'backwater' where the discerning
went. Sure, many WinMe users were complete novices whose first
computer came with it, but often simply finding these groups is a
kind of initiation and sufficient a learning curve as to mean they
came here with the wit and attitude to contribute to the company; and
of course those who kept returning contributed to the family, as
opposed to the brawl of those other groups in which the few sparkling
stars are blotted out by the probing coal-black clouds of trolldom.

So WinMe family, hope you didn't just get a lump of coal in your
stocking! I think I'll go light mine.

The FSM bless us, each and every one!

Merry Crimbo!
