Welcome to the Distributed Computing Forum ... say Hello

[Skivelitis2]

I see Smoke is a Distributed Computing Elite Member. What does it take to achieve that status? If it's hardware from this century or a knowledge base that consists of more than just being able to find the power button on my rigs I guess I'm out.

I really should change my picture ... that was 23 years ago.

That photo was taken when at age 60 I made 1st String All-American NSSA (Skeet). Due to my bad back I had to "hang up the cleats" if you know what I mean.

That's when I showed up here.

My greeters were WIZ and ASSIMILATOR1 who are still and always my very best close friends. I still count my times here at the very top of my life memories.

Thanks to all of you (too many to list) for allowing me to part of your number.

Hey Greg! Great to see ya!

Btw, what happened to that voice chat we were going to do? I can't remember what we said in our sporadic emails, lol.

He was originally 'Distributed Computing Moderator', after he retired from being a mod, I guess they just edited his title?
Smoke used to be a massive part of TA for many years, I'm pretty sure he was an Elite member (for DC) long before he was a mod.
I got my Elite member status (many years ago) for my contribution to TA (not for points though, most of the time I run DC it's only on 1 rig, and it's has been that way for 2 decades).

This place is a real Time Machine.

So nice to hear from you all again.
