hello to all...

i belong to three other boards, ranging in seniority from about a year and a half to about ten i guess.

anyway, after downloading countless o/s releases from other people i decided to jump into the fray myself and my travels brought me here.  i figured that i would most likely learn more being here than looking in from the outside, so here i am.

right off the bat i'd like to thank you guyz [you know who you are, don't you?] for all your hard work and time and brain cells that all of this had to take out of you.

i hope that i have something to share, though at this point i'llmost likely be more of a sponge than a fountain.  hopefully - that will change.

so hello, hope i can fit in and help out in some way and hey, glad to be here!

mike
