This would be a good time to have a Nlug steering committee meeting. I've had an idea for a new Nlug website, but very little time to build it. Sent from my iPhone On Feb 27, 2015, at 7:59 PM, Amber Adams amberadams.nashvi...@gmail.com wrote: On Friday, February 27, 2015, Kevin

Ah yes! Ctrl-Z and bg. One of those things taught way back when I used a Sun workstation, that I had never really had much need (till now). Always good to get a refresher on some of the basics. Thanks! Paul On Fri, Feb 27, 2015 at 9:48 AM, Tilghman Lesher tilgh...@meg.abyt.es wrote: After
