The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads

The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

I don't mind havin' bears around, but cougars ain't good neighbors... they get a "doesn't play well with others" on their report card... I may have to "control" it...

Yeah, that sounds great. It'll need to be a couple of weeks tho. Need to get the little one through his surgery.

At this point, I would trust either one of us totally $#@%-faced to drive before I'd put Jr. behind the wheel.

We're gettin' nowhere with that boy. He's gonna be doing 8th grade all over again, either this summer or next year.

Sun sells a version of Solaris which runs on PCs, you can order it from their website at www.sun.com. IIRC it costs $20 or $25. But, as Lil'freeper said, I wouldn't recommend it to someone not already familiar with some flavor of Unix.

Corin, just a friendly word of advice, don't be the first one to, ahem, "fall asleep".

This particular version of a mini moot is starting to sound pretty superior.

Good morning, everyone.
