David, one of these days I'm going to drive over and knock on your door and buy the coffee (or beverage of your choice). You're only about 2 or 3 hours from here (nw of Denton). Thanks for your insight. I seem to remember also moving to opensuse when Mandrake died. Before that I had an AT&T unix pc. Glad those days are gone.
Yep, spent plenty of time in that neck of the woods. (latest up there was a case against the Wilson N. Jones hospital in Sherman) In my younger days had more than a few at the Yellow Rose and whatever the other club was just east of Lewisville on 121 (as well as the motocross trails at the bottom of the dam over there on Fish Hatchery Road). Good old Texas Hwy. 24 (now US 380) was nothing but a lonely 2-lane blacktop back then and there was nothing between LBJ and Denton on 35 except the intersection (I grew up in the space between Dallas and Plano.... when there was space between Dallas and Plano, back when the toll-road stopped at LBJ -- and when there were still drive-in theaters in both Richardson and Plano -- that's been a while back....) My mom even taught at Lewisville High School for a number of years. When I left in '87, you could still get around up there without any traffic and Denton was just a blip on 35 with NTSU (now with a name change to shake the party-school rep, re-badged as UNT -- wooo) Sad thing about that area is I don't even recognize it anymore. If somebody told me growing up that all the farms and fields we hunted every day after school would be nothing but another 40 miles of subdivision and urban sprawl -- I would have told them they were crazy.
