Goodbye, for now....

Classic Computer folks:

I guess I cannot leave lists without saying goodbye, just like
it would be improper to leave a party without thanking the host.
So here is my goodbye (for now at least, because I cannot
guarantee I won't be back :-).

Much as I still lust after a functional PDP-8 system, my life
is just too hectic right now (with two upcoming moves -- to
Dubuque, Iowa in June and then to Bismarck, North Dakota in
July -- and related unknown job searches...) to actively seek
such a system. At the same time, I am envious of you folks for
both having such classic systems (whether it be luck or by crook :-).
But somehow my mind is too cluttered to keep straight all the
permutations and modifications needed to keep the hardware and
software booting and running. (I'm having a hard enough time
keeping my older radios and my amateur radio equipment going at
the moment...) Yet I have learned a bunch from you guys in the
short time (half year or so) that I have followed this list.

And much as I have opinions as well about Microsoft, viruses,
prefered OS, etc., somehow it is not the same discussing them
over a mailing list. I'd match rather do it face-to-face,
while preferably seated in a pleasant pub with a good pint
o' ale or red lager in hand <grin>.

So, see you around the next bend....take care.

Cheers/73. Kevin Anderson

(ham radio folks: listen for me on 10-40 meters -- KB9IUA/mobile,
soon to be K9IUA I hope through the FCC buy-a-call program -- both
CW and SSB. I'll be handing out ND counties for the county hunters.)
