[gNewSense-users] Hello Gnewsense listmembers

[Eric Morey]

Hello all.

Please allow me to introduce myself to the list. I'm a Financial/Lending 
industry professional from New Jersey with a newly formed interest in 
software (I wish I would have given it a chance in High School). For the 
past 12 months I've been the business analyst whit responsibility for 
two internally developed software models being rolled out throughout the 
company I work for. This has invigorated within me a previously passing 
interest in software design and development. In my search for some free 
(as in Beer) resources for self learning  C++, I came across Emacs, GNU 
and the Free Software Foundation and received an unexpected education in 
the ethics of software (also ethics of technology and applied ideas).

As the only ethical option that suits my needs, I've been using 
gnewsense as my sole OS on my primary PC (my wife insists on using 
Windows XP on her PC) since March of this year. After using GNS and 
monitoring this and other mailing lists and news articles, I'm now 
satisfied that GNS is the long term system for me. It seems that GNS is 
the one of the only free systems (possibly the only one) that puts the 
decision of adding non-free software on a system into the consciousness 
of the system's owner. GNS is also usable for 100% of what I need to do 
and 99% of what I'd like to do (e.g. I couldn't get Gnash working on my 
initial attempt and haven't had time to give it another go. Maybe some 
one can give me some help on my next try).

Now that you know a bit about me...

I'd like to adopt a section. I've never edited a Wiki before. I see that 
there is a tutorial on the basics of Wiki editing. After reviewing it, 
I'll add my profile and document anything that I do for the PFV effort 
going forward. I tend to work extremely slow but diligently. So if you 
don't see any activity from me at times, it just means that I'm into the 
detail of something. I'll come up for air at some point.
