Talking A Great Big Thankyou

Thank you everyone for your very generous gesture.
I've never met, or not met in person as the case may be, people as caring and big hearted as you lot.
When Paul and Houghy presented me with the laptop, I was speechless. Something that doesn't happen very often to me. LOL.
You've made me feel very happy indeed.
So before I short circuit the keyboard, it's got me crying again, I just have to say one more time, Thank you.

Not sure what this relates to, but just confirms what I was thinking, that I've joined a real nice group of people.

1Ponders (Paul) organised a “secret” collection for Jeanette whilst she was recently in hospital. A bunch of IIS’ers managed to club together to purchase a new laptop as a get well gift, with a few accessories, before JJJ could log on again and spring the surprise.

Paul presented the gift to Jeanette at the Qld Astrofest, who was absolutely blown away with the kindness of her IIS mates and soon put the gear to good use. I spent the first evening listening to the strains of “Dark Side of the Moon” on the new PC, as it wafted over on the faintest of late night breezes – simply delicious.

Cheers

Dennis

The look on your face is enough thanks for all of us jjjnettie. I think some thanks should go to the people who organised this fine gesture. My 2C worth!

Hey, I was in my sleek geek mode for the week


You weren't the only one with a tear in the eye Jeanette.....hey h0ughy

While I can't speak for h0ughy (though I often do ) it was a pleasure to do something to help lift your spirits, and what ever small thing I did it was more than matched by the generosity of the "Get Well Crew".
