I have been involved in IT since the 1960s. A health crises brought that to an end in the 1990s. Now fully retired I produce and present radio shows which I provide free of charge for radio/web stations around the world. Main interest is the music of the 20th century. Also keen on old movies I find on You Tube. Love to read anything from cereal boxes to books.
I have been using #linux as a desktop since 1999. Started with #debian then #ubuntu now using #linuxmint and some #raspberrypi servers.

@miramarmike@cloudisland.nz When I was about 5 or 6 one of our neighbours was a very strict Catholic, and nuns used to visit her. One day I was outside when two nuns wearing the most strange headgear walked towards me. I was terrified. It looked something like this

Nun with what looks like wings as a veil sticking out from her ears.
