Re: Joe Brazzeal, USA, Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS, kernel 2.6.15-28-386

[Joe Brazzeal <joebiz@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello Jacques,

Thank you for the reply. I'm sorry about the English saying.
Occasionally, I forget that emails sometimes go outside the USA.
What is your native language? French?

"Licked this thing", or "get this thing licked" kind of means
"getting the job done" or "success at last".

Thank you for the suggestion. I can't wait to "tinker" (oops)
with the problem/solution. I like messing with the computer,
until the hours turn into days. It helps keep my brain young.

Have a great week, my friend!

Joe
