Almost the only one. I know of at least 2 others, although they only mess with it occasionally-- my Python teacher at the community college, Dr. Browning, and my ex-boyfriend. There are about 3 others who I think *may* use Linux, but I haven't talked to them in years so I don't know. As for Wilmington and Myrtle Beach, I know there used to be a LUG in MB, but apparently it died out, cause the website in defunct. In Wilmington, there's prolly a bunch of users, but there's no LUG up there. I'm going to get in touch with Dr. Browning to see if he'll help me start a LUG around here. > Is there really much of a geek community down east? Unfortunately not. That's part of why I have trouble finding a boyfriend. I hate to gripe about that, but it's bugging me today. I had a very annoying date with my current non-geek boyfriend-- all he cares about is watching pro-wrestling every Monday night (well, that and sex-- but wrestling is the annoying hobby (see my .sig-- I think sigrot is psychic) ;). :b And he just has a very annoying personality. Oh well, anyway... Nope, not enough geeks around here. That's why I'm online here as much as possible-- it gets lonely around here. :( > Are y'all anywhere > close to getting broadband? In the parts of the county that have Time Warner Cable (Southport/Oak Island and Holden Beach), they can get Road Runner. For the rest of us, there's Atlantic Telco's DSL. Until recently, it was too expensive for mere mortals to afford, but now my mom says we're going to get DSL sometime within the first half of next year (I told her I need it for my business, so she said ok). -- Vikki Roemer Homepage: http://neuromancer.homelinux.com/ Registered Linux user #280021 http://counter.li.org/ Sex is not the answer.
