If you are new drop in say hello and introduce yourself please!

Hello all,
I am an retired engineer, living in San Jose, California.
I enjoy computers, Linux and the nice weather here.
I also do some remodeling for myself and my kids.
Finally, last but not least, I play classical organ, believe it or not.
I have been running Linux on several computers because Linux is the only operating system running on IBM based architecture AND Apple MAC. So, with Linux, I have to support only ONE operating system on several - different - computers.

I just joined a few minutes ago from Austin, Texas. Is this site custom or does it use turn-key forum type software? It's really nice. I look forward to participating.

On our site we use Discourse for our forum, but this site is really impressive.

Definitely doesn't use turnkey. This is NodeBB. Also, welcome.

@wirestyle22 In my opinion it's a lot more fun to use that Discourse. I wish we would have used NodeBB instead. I'll go check it out, thank you.

I played with a lot of different ones before settling on NodeBB. We got really lucky that we found it, it was brand new when we went with it, we started on it in beta, a year before release!
