Omg, I love to edit too! I like you already. (To anyone going through these comments, I’m not saying this randomly, lol. It’s on her bio.)

Oh, I always read the rules for any cyberspace I join! It's better to know how to avoid doing something you're not supposed to, even if you wouldn't do it in the first place. Besides, I say the rules count as reading material, so I'm happy to have a look(and not just mere skimming through, but genuinely reading it all). 

Welcome, and good to see that you’re reading the rules, the mods will most definitely appreciate that!

Thanks. I'm already enjoying myself. Feel free to take a look at my archive profile for a bio/an About Me since I haven't set that up here just yet.

Fresh meat? Welcome! I love seeing new people, and I hope you enjoy yourself here!

I’d rather hide, kinda makes me eligible for Hermits United, if I could stand a crowded cave, that is. 

Wait, you tried to be friendly, right?  

Smile, nod, and dead eyes. That’s my go-to response in the real world. Why, is that not friendly?

Meatspace is overrated. I can’t control it, I can’t talk about pervy shit in it, and I can’t block strangers that talk to me. So Gross.

Gotta prioritise meatspace over cyberspace! Good luck out there.

@Wilde_Guess I’m an old DOS user, so I’m very much at home with working in the command prompt arena. The daft one and I were tidying, and ran across our ancient notes on tweaking HIMEM on our--really—IBM PS1. We’re hopelessly geeky, and the daft one has at least one laptop that runs Linux (don’t ask me what flavor) and one that still runs DOS.
@Desiderius Price Very good! You get to move to the front of the spanking line.

@Wilde_Guess I read the "fast and durable hard drive" way too fast, started to think latex and naughty thoughts (this is AFF after all) 

A fast and durable hard drive is never a bad thing.  As for *nix, you will want to be VERY COMFORTABLE with the “normally hidden wires” of an operating system before using it.  I have experience with SCO Unix, Intel Solaris, Linux, and post-Intel Apple OSX.  If you have to try *nix, get an iMac.  All the unix stuff is in there, but stays “hidden” unless you go looking for it.

As long as I end up with a working desktop again, I’m happy!
The new HD will be a treat for me, though. It’s a gaming HD, so on those rare moments when I get to game, it will go more smoothly, or so the Elderspawn tells me. (Elderspawn’s OEM HD croaked last year and was replaced with the same model HD, and Elderspawn is a heavy gamer.)
It’s just always a pain in the ass to reinstall everything, but the old HD is now set up as an Igor, so once I have the programs reinstalled, I can pick its brain for the data files I want.
@Desiderius Price I have yet to play enough with Linux to be ready to make the move from Windows. Some day!

May they only jab you once on the bloodwork.  (I had to be jabbed a second time when I did mine earlier this week.)

I’m not sure putting on Windows is a treat for a hard drive.  Now, if you were talking Linux, that’d definitely be a treat! 
 

What a treat for the hard drive!  You spoil it.

@BronxWench  Yeah, need to get a passport…. (my old one’s way past expired)

@Desiderius Price This one was right on the beach in Negril, Jamaica. Going out at night in Jamaica is sort of a walk on the wild side, and we mostly stayed at the resort, but we had to go for a sunset burger just to say we’d done it.

@BronxWench  Sounds like a better location than the one I’ve gone to.  I mean, yes, the county is next to water, but the restaurant I’m referring to is at a shopping mall, not particularly scenic.

He should have gone with “Jimmy Buffet’s Buffet.” 10% off your order if you pronounce the name of the restaurant correctly.

I used to have Superbowl barbeques when I had my garden apartment in Manhattan. It was awesome.
@GeorgeGlass That song makes me think of going to Jimmy Buffet’s restaurant in Negril, and quite literally having a cheeseburger in what sure felt like Paradise…

*bursts into chorus of “Cheeseburger in Paradise”*
