Don: Something slipped a cog somewhere. I haven't the foggiest idea why you sent me this message. I have a color printer (prowriter I think), the dealer printed a color picture to prove that it worked and it has not had a color ribbon in it since!

Bill, Hehe…it was in reply to your "weak, very weak" message. I wasn't sure if you were talking about the impression…or my weak joke about printer impressions. Don

Actually Don, I was a little worried that it might have been a message that should have been directed to someone else. I have a sufficiently 'thick skin' (it goes with a thick head) but some people that might be a little sensitive could take offense if they missed a reply. I would hate to think that someone might be timid and not come back. This is almost as good as a very good users group for routine type questions (and I do mean really good users group too). As far as the really difficult stuff, a users group that has a regular Amigaforum member in it might do…..otherwise a person just as well ask for help here and avoid waiting for someone else to bring the answer for the SIG to the meeting. Some humor intended, but the level of expertise availible here really is high! 73s, bill

Bill, Appreciate the kudos…we do try to help most folks as best as we can and have a good mix of friendly folks here willing to jump in and share their knowledge…our members really are very open about sharing what they know. Also, I understand your concerns about a possible mis-directed message so no problem there! Don

I do appreciate the humor too Don! We live in a very serious world and most of us take ourselves to seriously as well. I find computer types seem to generally have a very good sense of humor. Like one of our software types that was helping several of us carry a couple hundred K of core and appologized for not setting it all to zero before we shut down the machine! We all nearly dropped the boards. 73s, bill

Heehee! I very nearly dropped my keyboard when I read that! Regards, Larry.
