Welcome
COBOL!!!! Wow - I remember that. Was never very good at it. Fortran either. But I had a chance to use ALGOL a few times and loved it. But once I found Basic, it was all over. Never looked back. Oh wow - and JCL - yeah, Job Control Language as I remember it. Now that was fun! Anyway, good to see ya over here. And as you learn this wiki language, you'll no longer be able to call yourself a dinosaur. You'll be right on the cutting edge! Template:Emot ROTFL
Gearhead: JimBob has been planning to upgrade current WWR user interface for a few months. He's skipping over Version3 and using the WIKI to create Version4 of WWR. The WIKI is being created and features are still being added. Give the new chat room a try (click on the link to the left). The Wiki chat room will have similar features to the current chat....soon. The nice thing about this Wiki is that you can quickly create page on any topic you choose. You could create a page for your favorite band, music or whatever you think would interest the WWR community. There are a few tricks and tips that are being documented, so you may have to ask others for a little guidance in these early days. Have Fun and ask questions if you need help. - RickHap 19:52, 27 March 2006 (AKST)
Hey there gearhead, great to hear from you tonight. Just got in from work and couldn't wait to get to the wwr site and listen to some cool tunes and chat a bit. Yes, I think you are correct about longdog, he is near me, but I am closer to the mtns. I left him a short note, thanks for the introduction. Loraine is my given name, Lorrie is the nickname I have gone by my whole life, but I like either one. Well, heres wishes for a great evening for you and your wife, and hope to catch you in chat someday soon.

Hi Gearhead! Anagram created a page about wheathead interests, called Flying. I listed you on there, since I knew you had done it for a while...but really didn't have much to say. Please feel free to add to it...pictures if you have any...or delete your name from it if you would rather.By the way, I also had skills in COBOL, Fortran, JCL...and before that TRS-80 BASIC! Wiki is more fun! I once made up a carboard sign that said "I will fly for food". It worked
Hey, Gearhead...I look forward to seeing the pictures. :) Sometimes I think I go overboard here with the flying stuff...so I wasn't sure if anyone else wanted to chime in.
The 737 picture was something I shamelessly stole from somewhere (its all over the net...I think there is a little website logo on it somewhere.) It is a 737-200, which I used to drive, but belonging to a different airline (modernized gauges for a -200 compared to what we had.) We retired all our -200s last year, I kinda miss them. The kid is the spitting image of my nephew...and my brother is a computer graphics geek. Hmmmm
Help!
I can never seem to find that page that was set up to request changes and enhancements to the site. Figured you'd be the one who could tell me. Next time I get there I'll bookmark it!! Gearhead 20:32, July 22, 2006 (AKDT)
- Hi Gearhead! That would be Feature requests. Easier to remember is Requests which has a link to it. Thanks! (Sparkit 20:39, July 22, 2006 (AKDT))

Thanks for the note. Contributing_to_this_site is a good place to start. Or ask in the chat. Hope that helps and thanks for your help! Jimbob 17:40, February 14, 2008 (AKST)
