I am located in Northern Canada, where it is very cold. Outside it is now about -12, and it is spring time. Just about 6 days ago, we received a good whack of snow.

My English should be good. I have a fair number of years of English grammar and composition studies behind me. A number of years back, I was writing technical instructions for specialized electronic equipment. I also have a strong education in electrical engineering, and physics. I am working very heavily in some types of technology support. I am on call 24-7. Some of my work is for IT engineering.

I am not very young. I go back to when the first computers were around. I first worked on computers back in the mid 60's. I would not remember in depth details of these machines. The backups and operations were done on large two inch reel to reel tapes. The read-write heads were on a helical buttembly with four heads. These worked on air-bearings.

The programming was done in Fortran and buttembly language using punch cards. IBM and Honeywell were the main companies involved in these machines.

When I started, if a computer had more than 32 k of RAM, it was a huge machine. These computers took up many racks of equipment, and filled a large building. They were slow to program and set-up. But, for large scale jobs, they did save a lot of time.

Yes, I like the drop downs on the left where you can see the bookmarks and history etc in explorer.

I have only installed it earlier today and so far it seems decent.

That's just a spam trap.. may as well have an interesting one though like Buggs Bunny or Donald Duck :)

So JANA where are you from? Canada? Germany? Your English is very good.
