   Hi! Holger,   
      
   On 09 Jan 16 11:45, you wrote to me:   
      
    PQ>> Well... GMTA.  My second was Total Commander!  [giggle]   
      
    HG> Another file manager, I understand.   
      
   Yes.  Hence the GMTA.  Very early on around 1987, I started using Norton   
   Commander for DOS and that lasted about 5 years; I still have a copy of a   
   European variant with a BBS terminal option.  At some time, I did have a look   
   at XTree but I didn't really like it since it didn't follow the same   
   multi-directory panel layout that I was used to.  Since the early 90s I've   
   been using Total Commander for Windows (TC for short).  That's over 25 years!    
   :)   
      
   These days I use Tux Commander on all of my Linux systems: One Dell desktop;   
   and about eight alternate USB boot & VirtualBox PC incarnations.  It's the   
   closest approximation to TC in Windows, though with a couple of rough edges.    
   I also have a copy of the Gnome Commander on the Dell but it's not used often,   
   as it's a recent discovery courtesy of Bjoern Felton.  Now I'm straying...   
   like an old bloke.  Oops.  For a squiz at some happy snaps of some of my   
   machines and other things, take a trip when you get a chance to:

    HG> Winter has finally arrived here. The last week we have had -11ø to   
    HG> -15øC and the white stuff falling down is making the days longer, and   
    HG> the days are also getting longer now after the winter solstice. -9ø   
    HG> right now and more snow falling vertically.   
      
   Ah, weather... well, we're technically into the second month of summer but it   
   hasn't startd to really heat up yet.  We're having 30-34øC days with variable   
   60-85% humidity but the Earth is still warming.  It will get hotter through to   
   April/May, as we get deeper into the cyclone season.  Oh, and I've just this   
   weekend installed my second UPS.  So I'm ready for the storm season.  :)   
      
    HG> Have a nice evening,   
      
   Thank you kindly.  Have fun!  Be good.  (I don't think they're mutually   
   exclusive.)   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
