"Here"

Valid point.

Our little corner of cyberspace.

Mostly tech focused guys with occasional rants all over the place. A couple of women, not real techie but at least competent users. Except sluggie, who puts most of us to shame on the tech side.

Physically hosted somewhere in the mid-west USA, run by our Admin as a labor of love (god know he ain't gettin paid for it), with about (hmm) 2 dozen regular posters, and probably hundreds of lurkers.

Unix/Linux geeks for the most part, with 1 hard core Windows person. Laptop/Desktop of choice is typically a Mac, but most of us deal with a bunch of stuff professionally. I prefer Linux/KDE on the desktop, my Mac laptop is gathering dust, and my VMWare ESX box runs most of my world. I rdesktop in a Win2.3K server on it for my Win desktop.

Democrat/Liberal leaning (or so it seems), but with a few right wing devil's advocates, and at least 1 absolute whack job.

Most of the regulars have met face to face, and some of us have travelled across the world (England, Australia) to the US for it.

And you? What's your story (if you care to share)?

Post #292,064 by crazy 9/1/07 10:58:21 AM Reply	Sorry, no Nor are you #2 or in the count at all. You are a non-tech semi competent user. You are also crazy, yet somewhat entertaining. Usually like watching a slow-mo train wreck.

And yeah, Brenda babe, you're not really "hard core" anything AFAICS. Owlets are far too soft for that. :-) [link\|mailto:MyUserId@MyISP.CountryCode\|Christian R.

Post #292,087 by crazy 9/1/07 7:46:38 PM Reply	Nope Mere knowledge of it does not make someone hardcore. In most cases, the more knowledge leans people to disliking it more. I only consider blind allegiance no matter what to be "hardcore", and I only know of one person here that fits that description.
