Brother Can You Spare a Few Electrons? - Comments Page 1

Bob - I'm an industrial automation professional who works exclusively with Windows and specialized applications software such as Human-Machine Interfaces and Historians. Despite many years of experience, it's rare that I don't learn something from most of your articles. For that reason, I've been doing what you ask (sharing them) for years. Keep up the GREAT work!

Sorry you got caught in the Google dance. I am also an ex-programmer and IT guy. As such, people of course always want a lot of help, but lately you've given me as much help as I've given them, and I now often refer/link them to your site and articles, mostly by link on Facebook, but also in emails. So, you save me a lot of time and I do spread the word. I'd be surprised if I haven't sent a bunch of traffic your way. I really appreciate your research and insight. Thanks for what you do, and have a Happy New Year!

I just posted some good words about you and a link to your website on my Facebook page. Hope it helps. Have a prosperous new year, Bob!

I will be happy to continue telling people about your website, and forwarding your emails to friends who need the solution you are mentioning in any given article.

Thank you for your advice!

Happy New Year!

A very happy New Year Bob, to you and yours and thanks for all the wonderful articles in 2013. I always send out some of your articles to friends :)

Thank you Bob, I really appreciate your newsletter, which is always loaded with interesting and useful information. Have a great 2014!

Your material is worth paying for and if you are over your Snikers phase, I gladly send along a few greens to your cause. Thanks for a wonderful service.

Google has a way of turning everything around or simply cancelling whatever they choose regardless of the consumer. Too much power and it's annoying. Sorry that they've done you a nasty. I'll notify those that I think will be interested in your newsletter. First found you as the Tour Bus.

Bob, I will definitely continue reading your blog. You sound like a friend of mine from CA. He started working with Intel, working on large main frames back in the 70's. Things have certainly changed over the years.

Happy to help, an easily justified recommend. BTW, back in the day, wasn't the GOOGLE mantra "Do No Evil"? If so, it would appear that they have lost their way. Happy New Year...

Bob, done as you asked. Pleasure to do so. I highly value your insight and commentary. Cheers, and Happy 2014

Hi Bob, it would be my pleasure to help out as I DO find your newsletters very helpful! Perhaps you can create a newsletter designed for friends and family as you yourself mentioned, and that way we can send that specific newsletter to them which in essence, sells the value of your services and highlights important information that you think may be of value, all in one newsletter. Thank you for your service :)

Happy New Year Mr Bob !! Long time reader here. I enjoy your advised started reading when I lived back in the USA, enjoy it even more here in Mexico since Im working for Verizon fios tech support. Will defenetly email my colleagues your website and Im confident most will sign up for the newsletter. Happy Holidays Bob.

done. AND I'd like to point out that people can buy you a cup of coffee to keep you going until hell freezes over. AND -- All they have to do is go above the yellow bar and BUY YOU A SNICKERS!!!!!! or cup of coffee).

Hi Bob,

I've been with you since the early days of the 'get on the bus' with Bob and Patrick. And I'm constantly sharing your newsletter and urging people to sign up. I don't care if you're a Mac or PC user, this is one of the most user-friendly and informative enewsletter I've ever come across. Thanks for years and years of education and advice. And, yes, I will continue to urge others to sign up.

Good luck,

brad

Hi Bob,

I have been reading your articles for several years now. They are very helpful especially the style of your writing makes people whose English is the second language like me to understand quite easily.

I will continue to support you and will refer you to some friends. Thanks for being a fine, helpful and simple individual!

I've copied the link and will post it to a couple of groups, along with my recommendation. It's small enough thanks for the valuable information you provide, and I hope it helps!

Bob:

It's the least we can do. You have saved me many times.

Happy New Year,

Michael

Bob,

I will definitely inform friends of your great site.

Thank you for your very helpful articles.

Happy New Year 2014!

I rely all too heavily on your production to use in a Newsletter for a senior computer club. Most of the time I do give you credit rather than flatout plagiarizing. From the occasional comments of members of the club, I know that they in turn have gone to your site and appreciated the quality of the information.
I find that you are much more than others trying to inform rather than sell.
