You're mighty welcome.

I don't often frequent the Lounge, because I would spend all day here, so I dabble, and got a wonderful surprise.

I was working on a long and powerful "Lessons I've Learned in Life" to counter the snot that someone recently put out, but it is taking time, being heartfelt and all that.

So, for my 20,000th post, I posted the brief "Wilhoit's Law" in (dis)honor of the protectors of the rich and powerful.

I will post a compendium of scripts I have found (just the links) and my favorite "rename" script that renames multiple files.

I have done computer support and run university and corporate networks for years. Glad to share with others since I am self-taught. Zero courses.

And I have a little fun with graphics.

like "What if Napoleon had a B52 at the Battle of Waterloo?"



Enjoy, and thanks, again.

"What if Spartacus had a Piper Cub?" when Kirk Douglas was a guest. I think they were throwing sandals at the Roman legions.
