Merry Crimbo and a Happy Festivus to the rest of us
Hoppy New Year and say " Good Night, Gracie "
2009 was kind of crazy
Some don't recall
It's too hazy
2010 sounds so much better
That's if we all don't end up debtors
The rich don't care cause greed is unfettered
perhaps eating a few will make everything better ? ®

Quite inspiring and uplifting, in a way.
Very nice, Mow, I see you've got a 'patent' on it?
Hope you're having a really good 'Festivus' yourself.

Harry.

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!
