1. Umm...
This is the "Computer Help and Support Group", not the "I Watch Shit Television, And I Need Help Group."

2. Well, you could have alerted on it. Wish you had, then, but that's water under the bridge.
Edited on Tue Mar-10-09 05:56 PM by tbyg52
Sorry to have disturbed your bustling forum.....

(Un, do you even know who Woz *is*? Rhetorical question, as I have learned the "ignore" button is my friend.)

Edited to add: Sorry if I hurt your field, mister!

3. LOL....
You could have explained it better! Sorry, some of us, (er... me,) that do not watch the show are like... :wtf: is that?

I understand your reasoning for posting that here.

Apologies for my misunderstanding. :spank:

4. Kicking this to the top of this bustling forum,
Edited on Sat Apr-11-09 11:06 PM by tbyg52
after receiving a "do not wish to receive personal messages" and rescinding my "ignore."

Guess it just goes to show we should remain open as long as reasonably possible.

ChromeFoundry, pls PM me!

Edited for traditional/inevitable stupid typo.

16. Adding that I did not look at my OP for a long while
having a thin skin. (Would not have posted if I didn't feel strongly.)

Got some good feed back and some bad. Well, that's life.....

5. Uh, but I'd still like to say -
Edited on Sat Apr-11-09 11:12 PM by tbyg52
I'm assuming that at the time of my post you did not know who Woz was?????!!!!!!

Oh well, now, I'm assuming, you do! :hi:

Edited to add: "You could have explained better"?

I didn't think I had to, here, but that's just me.....

If it gets me bricked, oh well.

Edited to add:

Are you really *this* desperate for attention? I couldn't even say that about *me*, and I'm a bad case....

9. oh come on
You came in with your Ignore gun loaded.
Everyone in here is cool, which you would know if took a look around.

You might need their help someday, so why not just brush it off.

10. Whatever.
Edited on Sat Apr-11-09 11:43 PM by tbyg52
Edited to add that that if I need help from the jerk that jumped in on my checking in, I could do without it, thank you.

To the first person that jumped to conclusions, my apologies (sort of, as I am staggered to learn that there's person in this forum who does not know who Woz is) and greetings.

13. "Ignore gun loaded"...?!
Check out GD:P much...? :rofl:

And I say this as a very thin-skinned individual, but not as much as I could be, I guess...! :rofl: !!!!!

18. Mmmmmm....
Maybe this is good practice for a thin-skinned person in GD:P, or the real world!

Thanks, I guess! :rofl:

11. I never watch TV either, can't stand it
I won't be voting, but I did go to YouTube to see what the Woz was up to. Good on him, I hope he's having a blast.

12. Thank you.
He seemed to be having a great time and a great attitude.

Happy to meet some fellow wonks here.

14. He always has a great time and a great attitude
It's what makes him the goodwill ambassador of geekdom. Probably the most guileless human this side of Mr Rogers.

Who doesn't love the Woz? :)

21. I'm a longtime member of Metafilter
They have an Ask Metafilter section where you can post for help on any subject. A couple of years ago, someone posted this crabbed bit of snark:
What's the appeal of Steve Wozniak?

He's everywhere these days and many nerds love him. To me, he seems like manboy who has managed to ride his Segway Polo-playing well beyond his 15 minutes of fame. He preoccupies himself with toys, is an awkward conversationalist (see here) and generally resembles a larger, mouth-breathing version of The 40 Year Old Virgin.

Seriously... what's the deal?

http://ask.metafilter.com/47835/Woz-More-like-Was-am-I-rite

Guess who showed up to answer? Check it out, it's classic Wozniak:

Edited on Sun Apr-12-09 12:09 AM by tbyg52
Uh, well, people here, apparently.

Unless, you know, they don't even know who he *is*......

And I'm not dissing the original responder. Just the person who called *me* a spammer. As I said, if it gets me bricked, oh well.

Edited to add that I am not a wrench, although possibly a wench.... ;)

19. I didn't make the connection.
Edited on Sun Apr-12-09 12:05 AM by Why Syzygy
Don't watch tv either. I, for one, hope you don't get bricked. Bricks are for Trolls!
Unless you're habitual, it's not likely.
(still time to edit.. usually when I blow off steam, I edit soon enough)

Speaking of Woz, though, I dreamed about Steve Jobs the other night.

20. I doubt I'll get bricked, as I don't spout off often enough.
I've only had one post removed, for linking to a "conspiracy" site, that said the media was controlled by the corporations.

Hey, wait! That's a "conspiracy"....?
