Welcome.

I'm a newbie as well (to this group, anyway).  I didn't know, until a couple
months ago, that there was an Ubuntu group for people in Michigan.  It's
quite exciting that there are others out there!

I'm actually a mechanical engineer (windows machines @ work), but I enjoy
using F/OSS in my spare time.  I'm about 95% (K)Ubuntu.  The other 5% is
gaming related and MS Office.  Since I have a dual-boot with WinXP, it's not
a problem.

I live in Saginaw, and if you couldn't tell from my background, I work at
Delphi (like, the largest employer here...)

Skillwise, I'm not guru, but I'm not a complete noob either.  I've working
with Ubuntu, having an installed dual-boot system since 2005.  I really
didn't USE it much until Dapper came out.  Since then, I've been almost
completely Ubuntu.  I don't program (unless you count Matlab...), but I
enjoy trying to help people with their Linux problems, even if it's just
pointing them toward the forums or some bit of documentation.

Cheers!  I hope to see you around the irc room.

Amy
