Hi folks

D-Dan · Dec 17, 2006, 11:34:58

Just saying hello. Migrated from Orange last week (after 3 months of trying). Been lurking around here for a day or so before announcing myself.

I have to say that this forum is, very much like IDNet themselves seem to be, very friendly. (Even the flame wars are friendly LOL).

Vey happy with IDNet up to now. Not synced as high as I'd like, but there's time. More than balanced by stable transfer speeds whatever time of day it is

Nice duck.

Hi Steve welcome to the forums.

Nerv its not a Duck its a smiley having something to eat

Nerval · Dec 17, 2006, 12:33:08

I preferred it as a duck.

Hi Steve glad to see you made it isn't it great to be Orangeless lol

Though, in the interests of fairness and seasonal goodwill, I must say that they still run a reasonable mobile network.

Hi Steve, welcome to happy land. Where did you get that photo of me, btw?

Nerval · Dec 17, 2006, 13:40:30

You a duck then Rik?

Rik · Dec 17, 2006, 13:46:07

No, I just look like a smiley about to eat. Or, put another way, when I'm about to eat, I look like a smiley. Talking of which, it must be lunchtime...

cavillas · Dec 17, 2006, 14:10:30

Welcom to this funny place, Steve. I like the beakless duck, much better than the eating smiley.

D-Dan · Dec 17, 2006, 19:29:39

Thanks for the welcome, folks. (And thanks to stevelondon, who is pretty much responsible for my being here). I'm kinda hoping I won't need much in the way of help - been wround computers since I trained as a programmer on an old IBM 1966 mainframe - through Spectrum and (very souped up and much loved) Amiga to my current rig - which has just had a pretty major upgrade in itself. So I tend to fight my way through to a solution when a problem presents itself.

As far as my avatar - I thought it was my ex-wife when I first saw it, them I realised it was kinda cute (so I knew it wasn't her) and decided to use it. Don't ducks have beaks? I'm sure it aint a duck.

"Don't ducks have beaks"

Dont ducks don't have beaks but I think Ducks do have beaks.

Bananas don't!

Rik · Dec 18, 2006, 16:29:08

But parrots do.

Is this getting surreal, or is it just me? 8)
