Sucks. No, really.
It's like being far from Family ( and yes, as a member of the US armed services, I've had that experience far too many times.), with no way to make your voice heard.
long story short, I had a Trojan shut down my work computer(only 'net access i had), then IT went back to trace the worm & found my internet usage (lots of hits on the big A), so I got my pee-pee spanked & my 'net usage restricted. I've been able to 'Ghost' the forums by logging on to a Library computer, bt it won't allow me to sign in or post in Forums. Right now I'm on my Brother-in Law's PC, so I get a chance to duck in & say Hi. Of course I'll never have the time in the next 2 days to greet everyone I'd like to, butI'll try!
I guess all i can say right now is I'll miss garry, & I hope Grumpy gets back real soon. Also thanks to all who inquired after my absence- you are why i posted this in Community Forums. This IS my community, & even if I'm not always free to participate, I'm always happy to share!
Oh, & if there's anyone out there to whom I promised something before I disappeared, please let me know-here, via PM, or email, so I can square my accounts. I never got to thank Garry for his kindness, & i'm not going to let that happen again.
Folks, it's good to be back- for however short a time it be.
Namaste,
RobH(LogansDad)

Good to see you back around, I hope you can get something worked out to allow you regular visits. It is always good to see you around! I had been wondering where you disappeared to. Consider a Mac mini for a home computer? They are cheap and would be happy to help? Damn those IT people anyway! I've had my problems too, but now the head one is one of my best buddies....HEhehe.

I moved this post from "Big A in the USA" at Robert's request, so more than US members could know he was back with us.
It's great to see him back.

Hi Rob
It's great to see you back - even if it is on a very limited basis! Hopefully, you'll soon be able to spend more time here without getting into trouble at work...
All the best

Glad to see you back Rob. I've been there, working off a library computer, and done that so I have a little taste of what you've been through. I've had two weeks of no internet access at home, though I have always had it at work. I can't imagine two whole months without my Armorama fix. Maybe you'll get a big raise, since you're not "wasting" your time on Armorama. Then you can afford a new computer.
