All,
  Alison and I wish to thank all of you for your presence and participation.  It was wonderful to see old friends again, and to meet new ones!   When you physically meet someone for the first time -- someone you've experienced via the internet for a while -- it is like meeting an old friend for the first time.
  We both had a wonderful time!!! Thank you each for your generous contributions -- whether it was hosting a picnic bar-b-que lunch, donating DELL shirts, SI shirts, your personal knowledges, skills and personality, a vehicle to chauffeur others, or just a smile, a laugh or a hug!!!  We enjoyed it immensely and hope you did, too.  
  Don't be strangers!!! If you are going to be in the Austin area, let us know and we'll make an effort to get together.  Here on the DELL threads we get to know and like each other for the heart and mind of the individual poster, so shyness is no excuse! 
  To all our friends, a very heartfelt THANK YOU!
  Alison and Bachman  |
