In a message on 05-27-18 Paul Quinn said to Holger Granholm:

Good afternoon Paul,

 HG> The message is correctly translated in the sense that it's
 HG> understandable.

PQ> Yes.  I think you're hinting at a notion that there must be a moral
PQ> to the story.

There doesn't have to be a moral to every proverb. It's just like
Murphy's law like "If anything can go wrong, it will."

PQ> guess the nosebleed is indicative of a surprise! "life" found for
PQ> the girl who thought she had life's plan figured out.

Any proverb is indicating something, whether it's surprise or something
else, doesn't matter. Maybe just being funny, there are many such pro-
verbs.

PQ> What do you reckon?  Have you played with any Linux gear recently?

No I haven't. Once there was an ignition in me that should try it, but
the ignition breaker failed. The reason for the failure was the case
sensitivity for files and such.

OS/2 isn't case sensitive. Any file/directory  name I write in lower or
mixed case is always presented in upper case. The only exception I can
recall is in the list of download directories for saved files/bulletins.

There the name of the directory stays in lower case but it's not
preventing the files moving to the correct directory even if it's
presented in upper case in the directory listing.

I admit however that the case sensitivity of Linux does have advantages.
It gives you hundreds of varietes in naming things but that could also
be a disadvantage.

PQ> You have my sympathy.  Our winter temps are closer to 4-14C.  There
PQ> again, the sky is usually clear and seemingly limitless; the whole
PQ> continent can sustain continuous days without cloud during most
PQ> weeks in winter & early spring.

I was wrong regarding your winterweather. I thought it was warmer.

We have now endured these summer temperatures since the 11th of may.
10 to 14°C at night and up to 23 in the afternoons and no rain since
may 3rd.

Admittedly there waqs a lot of water in the soil after the snow melted
but that isn't enough for the summer. This month of may will go to the
annals as one of the warmest, if not the warmest in history.

PQ> I usually still get around in shorts & t-shirt, though with an
PQ> un-zippered short-sleeved fake-wool shorts & t-shirt, fake-wool
PQ> vest.  Oh, it's terrible.  

Well, I had to revert to long arms for a week after both my lower arms
were burned by the constant sunshine. I have now reverted to short
sleeved skirts. My legs didn't suffer from the sunshine even though I
have used shorts since this 'heat wave' started.


Have a good evening,

Holger
