Time to retire the name.
 

I've been using the "handle" "Eisboch" since my early days on the net back
in 1989 or '90. I had a super modern 286 computer, 13mhz clock speed and a
huge hard drive with 20 mbytes of storage space. It ran on DOS with a
pre-MSWindows software suite called "GeoWorks". GeoWorks actually had a
windows type format and even included a word processing program called
"GeoWrite". I signed onto an internet access through Prodigy and was
heavily involved in some of the midi sequencing groups and "chat" rooms.
You had to have a screen name, so I became "Eisboch" because I happened to
be drinking a Coors Eisboch blend that night.

Anyway, it's time to retire the handle. Mrs.E thinks it's stupid, and I am
getting kind of tired of it anyway.

From now on I shall be known as ......

"Sam Adams"

Just kidding.

I am glad my latest post (ping: Eisboch) brought you to your
senses................although it is a pretty cool and unique handle. ;-)

Unlikely. The former Eisboch keeps the bottoms of his trousers rolled.

Let us go then , you and I ,
while the ethernet is spread across the sky .
Like a patient etherised upon a table.
T1, ISDN - 56Megabits per second -
the slow yellow vapor of twisted duplex cable
that connect you from I and me and this.
Let's chat a while
about Marx - Karl or Groucho?

Nice to meet you, Mr. RCE.
You started with one of them fancy high-powered 286's of which I could only
dream! I started with the 8086 xt and a 20, yes 20, MB HDD. I loved my
DOS; I didn't understand why people needed all that Mac and Windows
nonsense. DOS: just tell your computer what to do and it did it! Simple as
that. Remember when the excitement of opening a gif meant starting the
process and coming back after dinner to see if the gif had finished filling
in all the pixels? I actually started with an Apple (was it IIC?),
encountered a mac in grad school, and switched to the DOS world when I
couldn't find a mac program that could handle the graphical representation
(believe it or not) of my lab data. Boy that was a long time ago!
