Hi all

Back in NZ (Wellington for the first time) after 30 years in Oz, and just finding my way round the most useful local sites - of which Geekzone is clearly the most important.

Avowedly a non-technical person though I've been in and (mostly) out of IT over the years having started my working life as a COBOL analyst-programmer.

Have spent a few years lurking on the outskirts of whirlpool.net.au with the occasional question and contribution and expect it'll probably be the same pattern with geekzone.

Anyway a big Hi and be nice to me

Lee

People around here can be funny. When reading a comment don't take it personally as everyone here knows we should
