Hello Fellow Australian UBUNTU Users,

forwarded below is a message which I have sent to Melissa Draper. I
chose Melissa because she is one of the few ppl I could find on the
Australian UBUNTU website e.g.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MelissaDraper

I'm having some problems with UBUNTU ... however I still think that it
is much better that Micro$oft Windows.

You can also find me chatting with MSN Messenger details:

email: pewtas at bigpond.net.au
MSN Messenger name: Peter_from_Hobart

Actually I'm using "Pidgin Internet Messenger" chat program.

Or you can chat (typing) with me with ICQ.
My ICQ # is: 156413284

I Look forward to meeting fellow UBUNTU users and maybe we can get
together for a coffee or whatever... if you are ever in Hobart.

Yours Sincerely and With Best Wishes,
PEW { Peter Eric Williams aka 'pew' }

from North Hobart, Tasmania, Australia

To Melissa Draper,

Hello Melissa,

I found your email address here:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MelissaDraper

Please do not delete this email without replying to me!!! *SMILE*

I live in a rented unit in North Hobart, Tasmania { Australia ! } with my cat!!!

I have a tendency to waffle on in my emails. Basically I'm fairly new
at UBUNTU and I have been using it for several months { not sure
exactly how long ! }

I currently use Linux UBUNTU 7.10 'Gutsy Gibbon' (IIRC). Previously I
was using UBUNTU Christian Edition.

And before that I used Micro$oft Windows XP Home Edition. I have
stopped using Win XP because... to be honest I was feed-up with
constantly needing to check for viruses and spyware and do software
upgrades etc etc ... & even when I was doing everything okay my system
(with Win XP) was not performing very well.

When I installed UBUNTU on my computer I vowed never to install
Windows XP or any version of Mirco$oft Windows Operating System.
Partly this is because (a) my computer only has a 40 GB HDD (which I
know is small by today's standards) & (b) because I have grown to
loath M$ Windows operating systems. I have too many bad
memories/experiences with being a WIndows user and having my system
perform very sluggishly and even needed to re-install Windows.

What I would really like is to have some kind of network of fellow
UBUNTU users so that we could meet for a coffee or whatever and help
each other out.

I have also been a member of the Hobart PC Group Inc (and I intend to
re-join shortly).

I have sent a message to the Tasmanian Linux User Group Inc -- several
days ago... but so far I have not received a reply to that message.

I don't drive so I rely on public transport (buses and taxis) or lifts
with friends.

My address is:

Peter E Williams
Unit 1 / 4 Newdegate st
North Hobart  Tas  7000

phone: 03-6236-9675  & mobile 044-99-25-650

Yours Sincerely and With Best Wishes
PEW ;-)))
