20:58 < johnc4510> :)
20:58 < br24> +1
20:58 < br24> for once
20:58 < tyche> Multiple people can cause confusion.  It was best to let word try.  _MrApple_ may be back in to get help, though.
20:58 < tyche> +1
20:58 < johnc4510> k
20:59 < tyche> He was actually doing a pretty good job of it.
20:59 < johnc4510> cool
20:59 < tyche> That, BTW was a flat statement, not one of surprise
20:59 < word> tyche: thanks ☺
20:59 < johnc4510> if it's just us, we should just shit the breeze for a bit and catch up maybe ??
20:59 < tyche> NP.  You deserve it.
20:59 < johnc4510> hey word
21:00 < johnc4510> word: what problems is it they are having ?
21:00 < johnc4510> just the right drivers?

21:02 < johnc4510> i've never set up twin view myself
