Default tap, tap This thing working?

We'll miss you as well Figgs, but at least we can keep in touch via email
although that doesn't seem to have the same feeling as this ng.

We've had a lot of fun in here, is it 10 years, that means I've been using
a computer for 12 years in September that's when I started with 98 and first
found the newsgroups and Jim Eshelmans site AumHa, crikey where's the time
gone, it'll also be 5 years in February that we packed up the evil weed. g

I've saved some of these messages so lets see if this one gets to you all,
if not through MS I have the ng's coming in through BT and
eternal-september.

I'm now going to see if that bridge thing has worked this morning so I can
sort out just what's on that.
I wont say goodbye as I'm bound to find some way of seeing you all around on
the net and I have phone contact with some of you, see you on the other side

I am going to miss you all SO MUCH!!!!! I hated to write a goodbye post,
so held off. I had a great time remembering over 10 years of good times
on this ng.......like when Mike and the OE guys were all at the MVP gala
eons ago and the only ones holding down the fort were myself and
Noel........that is how we met. The blind leading the blind, lol. And
Majik was over on OE frantically trying to deal with stuff while his good
buddy Steve C was hoisting more than a few.....lol.

Lots of fun things to remember. I am only remembering those. We have had
our share of wannabees and self-proclaimed X-spurts on WinME, but no one
will ever hold a candle to Mikey!! And I wanted to call you that one last
time, Sir Michael of London. (VBG)

When we went to the UK in 2004, we met up with Noel in Chester for dinner
(where he scared all the little old ladies) and I tried to pass an
out-of-date 5 (?) pound note......lordy, that was funny!! Poor Noel!!
And we had a wonderful, sumptuous feast in London with Mike and lots of
yakking. Poor Mike!! I have been enjoying all of the memories while my
*rememberer* still works, grin. Oh, and sitting in the pub with Noel
chatting to Joanie on his mobile....hang the cost, eh??

Then Noel had to babysit my daughter Elayne when she went to Scotland and
England the next year. I somehow don't think he minded that too much,
snicker. The Mouse sends her best to you as well. She is recovering from
nasty dental surgery, so is also one of the *walking wounded*.

Yes, we have all had our ups and downs healthwise, but what the heck, it
must be at least 10 years that we have known each other. I look forward
to one day meeting up with John John if we ever get back to the Maritimes.
Would love to go back to England, but don't think that will happen
unfortunately. Damn, who else have I missed. Mart, how did we not meet
up on our trip in 2004?? And I was so darn close to where you are. And
the Loon....I phoned him when Katrina hit......he sure talks funny, but
then he is a Texas Merkin. (G)

So my darlings........I will gather up all the Maxines I can find and send
them to you all.......that old broad kind of reminds me of myself, grin.
She is an outspoken, outrageous old lady and I guess I sorta fit that
description in my dotage.

It would be nice if we could find another secluded spot on the WWW and
continue on, but thanks to MS, that is not going to happen.

Love to all and take care of yourselves, you hear?? Seeing as I am the
oldest (which I have never admitted to before), you better listen up, OK??
8-))

Big hugs from the two of us........you people are the best!!

Ron and Heather

I was going to suggest that the last person here turns out the lights
before they leave, but then realised that will not be necessary as they
will go out the moment MS pulls the plug. They've obviously thought of
everything - except their "legacy" customers.

Just checking, in case MS had a fit and cut us off at the knees a day
early g
AFAIK, there's still no 9x support forums whatsoever - at least in
English (unless I've been looking in the wrong places)
