Thank you all for the kindest of thoughts.
As time permits, I may get to visit occasionally... but Life has a way of making us reprioritize things as we get older.
Facing Age 60 in late February 2017... That just doesn't seem possible.
Fare thee well my friends and my fellow Descent'ers!

Re: Goodbye...
Don't have much time for Descent related things any more. Part of this is being 58 years old... I need to focus on other things like my grown up daughter (age 21), etc. This is a great community of people from all walks of life and all sorts of ways of thinking about things. Gaming is still ...

Upgraded to Windows 10 on my Laptop and Desktop PCs. For the most part it seems to work well EXCEPT my Windows Desktop PC that had Windows 8.1 used to connect to my Lumia Cell Phone via USB... Now with Windows 10 with NO major changes, Windows 10 on the SAME PC no longer sees my Lumia Cell Phone ...

Run it from time to time to keep your hard drive working properly or to get your current drive to where you can retrieve the data in case it is dying.
