Very cool. Who have you worked for?

Glad to have you aboard..it is great that the family business carries on.
Maybe they will join these forums as well..maybe even get to see some samples of the work they do.
Welcome to the forum. We are honored to have you join us. I hope 1939 to 1946 was not too terrible a time for you but I fear that it may have been.
Hello Albert lovely to see you over here, I know Albert from the TSR UK forum he's a font of knowledge and an absolute Gentleman, and sure to be a great member.

Welcome to the SRP. I am not a fan of typing but it is one of the evils associated with Computers. There is an answer if you really don't want to type:
Try Dragon.
Nuance Americas Online Store
No too expensive, works well.
Welcome! Glad to have you!

Welcome, it is nice to have a Master of the Art with us.
Hello Mikael you live here too
Welcome to SRP :)
I am curious as to what hones you use for your straight razors?
Sure do, Albert :). This is the nicest place nice to hang out, when being a cut throat nut like us. There's TONS of information here and a vet like you can talk to guys here who actually understands what you're saying if asking a complicated tech question :DQuote:
