Definitely a "silent partner." But, maybe no more. I think he's found his "voice." LOL!
Shhhhh.....don't say too much....he's in the room. LOL
You're right though, he does seem to be more 'talky', lately. LOL
You happen to be correct. We have our respective PCs set up in the same room so we can FReep and do our other *computing* together - LOL!
When my laptop crashed and burned, I moved my PC out to the dining room table - Dan's is in the living room, which is really part of the same room. Even though I've gotten the laptop fixed, I've left my PC out here as I've gotten accustomed to it being here and working on it once again.
