[gNewSense-users] Re: gNewSense-users Digest, Vol 32, Issue 30

[Ken Roberts]

I'm not sure how to respond to the "58 years old-- and he's still going 
strong" comment. I am considerably older than 58 and yes, I too am still 
"going strong". As we older Marines say, "not as lean but still as mean".

I have been a windows user since 1984, probably before most of you were 
born, and I migrated to Ubuntu, then gnewsense last year. Even at my 
advanced age it didn't take long to figure out the system. So keep plugging 
along asking questions from all the knowledgeable people and researching and 
soon you will realize you know exactly what you need to know to be able to 
use and enjoy the system.

Old man Ken.
