I have been absent from Author's Den for several months and a recent occurrence prompted me to jump back in. I hope my old friends will remember "Just Jim" and follow the story

I was visiting my favorite store recently looking for a special cable I needed to connect some of my audio equipment. Not having much luck, I noticed a nice looking gentleman standing nearby and it appeared to me that he was employed at the store. He saw my glance and asked if he could be of assistance. I explained what I was looking for and he said “I am not working for the store but I will help you find your article.” He graciously guided me to the item I sought and almost immediately, we began discussing electronics in general and computers specifically. What transpired will be narrated in installments since the fantastic story will take many words. I will end at this point and begin work on the next installment. Until it is published, please stay tuned. In closing I would like to say “hello” and Merry Christmas to all my AD friends (assuming that they remember me. For now, Blessings and have a very happy New Year. Just (tardy) Jim
