Hi Nancy!

 BM>> Right.  Some of the people including us on this block do look out the
 BM>> window and observe what is going on (especially with noises, etc.),
 BM>> but most seem to be behind closed drapes.  I don't mind not being
 BM>> chummy but if something doesn't seem right will monitor and possibly do
 BM>> something if the situation warrents.
 NB>> A lot of it is in knowing what the normal pattern is, so that an
 NB>> abnormal one stands out.... :)
 BM> Right: Dad had taught me "know what's normal, everything else is
 BM> abnormal".
 NB> Potentially very good advice... :)

Yes, the majority of the time.  And 'abnormal' isn't necessarily bad.


 BM>>> <chuckle>  Yes, Fedora has its own set of 'magic spells' from Ubuntu
 BM>>> which I use here. one reason I don't want to play with it here.
 BM>>> Nothing wrong with it, the GUI is probably no problem but I use a lot
 BM>>> of command line and that would get confusing.  (The Raspberry Pi's
 BM>>> Rasbian operating system is pretty close to Ubuntu.)
 NB>>> A lot of it is what one is used to... and which is close enough to that
 NB>>> to be easily picked up...  :)
 BM>> True.  The Windows command to display the network connection is
 BM>> "ipconfig"; the one in Linux is 'ifconfig'.  No idea why didn't stick
 BM>> with what I'm guess is the 'Internet Protocol' but probably a reason.
 BM>> OTOH nice to use "iwconfig" for the Wireless information; no idea what
 BM>> Windows uses.
 NB>> And I've not a single clue on that one... :)
 BM> Nor I when I started back in my MS-DOS 2.11 days!
 NB> But you've had cause to learn some of that since... :)

True. 


 NB>>>> ... I try to take one day at a time, but often several days attack at
 NB>>>> once
 BM>>> Is that a 'daze'?!
 NB>>> Some daze, yes.... <G>
 BM>> Good news: I'm not confused!
 NB>> Good...  ;)
 BM> Or maybe.... <g>
 NB> Must be more days attacked at once again... ;)

Darn things keep ganging up!  And sometimes they combine forcs with
those ornery But Firsts.  Not a fair fight.


 BM> ... When my computer is down, what can I do to cheer it up?
 NB> Reboot it... <G>

Kick it twice?!

Chaos reigns within.
Reflect, repent and reboot.
Order shall return.
