Re: HELP WITH - Re: Multiple copies of the same message from Rick Jones in debian-user. (fwd)
Thank you for the response. I checked the headers and figured the problem
was on debians end but wanted confirmation and maybe for someone at debian
to realise this and fix it.
I will let mom know you send regaurds and give her a hard time since you
are a couple years older than she is. She thinks ppl your age are not
capable of learning computers as well as the younger generation (dad too).
I try to tell her otherwise.
Dad's coming around now. He's taking an MIS course (minor) in college and
is asking for help now and then. He's 52 now. He's always thought
computers were too complicated to bother with.
I went to him about 6 years ago with an idea, since he was an Electronics
engineer in the Army, to build a card to put in a computer that could be
hooked up to the cable system and allow computers to comunicate. A cable
modem. He told me it would never work. He didn't want to give it any
thought because it involved these damned computers I was into.
I figured he was right. He was the Electronics expert. I could be doing
well if he'd taken me seriously. Live and learn.
