Platinum and no tractor!

blurrybill · Jun 6, 2002

I was amazed when I hit the "gold" status and now continue to feel surprised when I realized tonight that I was meeting another benchmark. I do think the tractor will be home in a week, so maybe I'll contribute something useful in the future. It feels for sure that I've taken more than given. I am grateful for TBN and all the useful information acquired here - wholehouse vacs, digital cameras, pets, and.... Oh, that's right: tractor stuff!!! Thanks everybody.

Don't feel so guilty Bill /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif....I got my 4710 when I hit platinum level myself. I too attribute all my previous TBN activity to the many queries I had on tractors that the good folks here at TBN were only too glad to help me out with. Now that I have the tractor, I hope I can return the favor to other newcomers who are still in research mode.

Don't feel bad. I have been here a year and a half, hit veteran, and just have a few garden tractors. Ok they are big garden tractors./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Bill:
Are you sure this comment is correct? How many other people have gained knowledge from your questions?

well, y'all remember that it's much more fun to give when there's someone to receive and obviously appreciates it.
Learnin', camaradarie, lack of flames, and a lot of humor make it a great place to be.
Heck ... I just wait, droolin'and pantin', for someone to ask something that I have some expertise in ... but before I can get my fingers in gear .. .there's already 5 answers online!
Oh well, maybe some day someone will ask a question about cycle counting or cXML or something I can really sink my teeth into.

"Heck ... I just wait, droolin'and pantin', for someone to ask something that I have some expertise in..."

O.K. Wingnut, I'm always willing to help out. What's cXML?/w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif

Seriously, I've made Veteran without a tractor, and as many of you know, no plans for one within the next 2 - 3 years! I'm REALLY sucking up info. big time! And I plan to continue sucking....er.....absorbing information the whole time!

Wingnut, I'm like you. Other than some of "witty' responses every now and then, I don't feel like I've contributed near as much as I should have. Boy, will I have a lot of ground to make up once I do get my tractor! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

What's cXML?

The Compaq Extended Math Library (CXML) is a set of computationally intensive mathematical subroutines that are optimized for the Alpha platform.

Gotta love that google!

Or maybe it is Commerce eXtensible Markup Language (http://www.cxml.org/ - also found through Google). Given his profile, I'd bet on this one...
