Subject: Yesterday's Chance Meeting at 676 N. Michigan

Hi There!

  This I Chris Proctor, we met yesterday in the office tower of 676 N. 
Michigan Ave. you were seeking the German Consulate and I was the Security for 
the building.
    I am very happy to have met you and would like to keep in touch. for the 
obvious reasons lol.. I am nowhere near as computer savvy as you are and don't 
have much to offer at the moment for the information I seek except for an 
offer of mutual reciprication ( ie you give me a little assistance now and 
again to get me going in linux and I will assist you in whatever talents I 
have that you lack in , who knows I may be alot better at image manipulation 
than you and I know I am good at that).
     I will warn ya up front my spelling is horrible and my grammar is 
sometimes on vacation but when I program or code ( which I do very rarely ) I 
take my time and make sure every thing is dotted and crossed.
    I went ahead and booted from the dvd that came with my book the Knoppix 
Distro and toyed with the interface a bit. I was amazed at how fast I was able 
to get online and do the most simple things. I do have a great unfamiliarity 
with the file extensions and the application names and have to learn them one 
by one through practice. I do have a list in my bood , Linux for Dummies 8 
books in 1.
    the more I see of Linux the more I am begining to like it and sadly wonder 
where the heck my head has been for the last decade of windows nightmare. I 
still see value in windows to a certain degree. mostly games and a few select 
programs. which Is one reason I am going to set up my new computer as a dual 
boot. that and I can flip flop between Gimp and Photoshop unless you know a 
way to run photoshop in Linux, or is it under? like with windows? anyway there 
are a few tools I am finding I need to keep.
    I do not need to keep however microsofts invasion of my privacy and their 
curtailing of my rights.
    oh yeah I almost forgot to ask how your visit to the consolate went? did 
you get every thing worked out?
well for not that Is all I can manage this morning .. ahmm.. sorry this 
afternoon lol.. so please write me back and ask a few questions of your own if 
there is something our previous conversation may have sparked or this email 
brings to mind you want to know If I know then fire away I will be happy to 
answer.
I visited your Website last night but was really tired I think I will go back 
there for a bit and look about. have a good day.

Chris Proctor
