Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask COF, Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

In the past, I've jokingly referred to it as collecting email addresses. But, the truth it, it kinda is actually collecting email addresses.

Also, if you want something even more amusing, back in the early 2000s, I was a "Microsoft MVP" - another award won, but for Microsoft.

I don't tell me Linux buddies about it. I'm not sure if they'd understand! But, like pretty much everyone else on the planet, my first OS was not Linux. I've used all sorts of other OSes - from OS/2 to Unix, from BSD to MacOS, from Commodore's BASIC to RISC OS, etc...

The list of OSes I've used is pretty damned long. But, yeah, for a few years in the early 2000s I was recognized by Microsoft (winning a pretty prestigious award three years in a row) for much the same thing.

LOL I used to know a bit of COBOL and FORTRAN. I've even used punch cards to send my program to the computer.

Man, I'm fuckin' old.

Hell yeah, I moved from BASIC to FORTRAN then to COBOL! I don't remember a whole lot about them anymore though
