Re: Today would have been Airben001's 22nd birthdayI never had the chance to get to know Airben. He was at the time an infrequent visitor to the place. I did however get perhaps the single most helpful suggestion from him in the MS forum over a year ago. He told me to quit worrying about the details, and live with what works. A concept I hadn't thought of before. I am a mechanic and virtually obsessive by nature and his advise, albeit abstract, was I think the turning point in my understanding of computers. I had only first used a system 2 months before.
I read your solemn posts and reflect on life. I came close myself just a few months ago. Unfortunately, dear Ben lost... I won. Survivors of cancer, myself included, live with this as long as we live, and the little guy that lent a hand will always be remembered by me. That way in my thoughts he never died. He will always be with me.
Rest his soul in peace and comfort. |

Wow, this is a sad thing but we all must move on. I have never met Ben because I only joined a few months ago, but this is already starting to get to me. I can feel the pain... of losing someone close.... I wish I could have met you Ben... |
