Freebies for all my friends, whatever OS you use {what is the plural of OS?}
Would you like an @Armani.PM email 'dress?

Posted: Thu Jan 02, 2014 9:39 am    Post subject: Free email forwarding for all my friends.    

________________________________

Fancy an easy 'dress to remember? Surely the best kind of email?

PM for Prime Minister. 

The whole point of an email is something that's easy to remember right. Sure, for example,Alex.MacLennan_29_February_1976 at Armani.PM {it's case sensitive} tells you everything you need, but how to remember that? Especially if you'e not got a pen handy when you're in the club..   %) 

Simples, just email me, with the bit you want before the @ and everything sent to that address will be automatically forwarded to an email 'dress of your choice. It doesn't even go through my machine so zero latency insured!   %) 

Cheers & Beers, from Alex & Amy.xx

I was having issues with my external monitor only going up to 1024 * 768 whereas get 1280 * 1024 on the Windows 7, so I tried the propriety drivers, but then it wouldn't boot at all. So I can ctrl alt f2 and enter passord so can get root shell. So I need a CLI command to remove the propriety drivers, and need to sort the password issues out. I had this prob before but managed to fix it put cannot remember how. So I can get root shell, just can't login and change any settings and don't really wanna go the create new user root etc Running Gnome 3
