Hi! Holger,

 PQ>> Well... GMTA.  My second was Total Commander!  [giggle]

 HG> Another file manager, I understand.

Yes.  Hence the GMTA.  Very early on around 1987, I started using Norton
Commander for DOS and that lasted about 5 years; I still have a copy of a
European variant with a BBS terminal option.  At some time, I did have a
look at XTree but I didn't really like it since it didn't follow the same
multi-directory panel layout that I was used to.  Since the early 90s I've
been using Total Commander for Windows (TC for short).  That's over 25
years!  :)

These days I use Tux Commander on all of my Linux systems: One Dell
desktop; and about eight alternate USB boot & VirtualBox PC
incarnations.  It's the closest approximation to TC in Windows, though with
a couple of rough edges.  I also have a copy of the Gnome Commander on the
Dell but it's not used often, as it's a recent discovery courtesy of Bjoern
Felton.  Now I'm straying... like an old bloke.  Oops.  For a squiz at some
happy snaps of some of my machines and other things, take a trip when you

Ah, weather... well, we're technically into the second month of summer but
it hasn't startd to really heat up yet.  We're having 30-34øC days with
variable 60-85% humidity but the Earth is still warming.  It will get
hotter through to April/May, as we get deeper into the cyclone season.  Oh,
and I've just this weekend installed my second UPS.  So I'm ready for the
storm season.  :)

 HG> Have a nice evening,

Thank you kindly.  Have fun!  Be good.  (I don't think they're mutually exclusive.)

Cheers,
Paul.
