Dear Ruby community,

i want to thank you all for the help you gave me about ruby.  
really i study physic not any longer because it gave me a headache. i  
think  
i am going to be a freelancer. in ruby, perhaps. so we may have more  
business in future.

and oh yes, dont get stuck as the poor christmas man on the card 🙂

best wishes,  
franz

oh how very embarassing! i wanted to attach “christmas.jpg” and clicked  
on  
the wrong file.  
i have just upgraded ie to firefox and find it has not become easy to  
handle. what with the tabs and so on i really understand not. is there  
any  
web browser written in ruby?

why can’t i send an animated gif to this list? i have a very funny  
christmas  
postcard for all of you and it is all with the christmas man and no  
girls  
with naked cunt (\<= yes they gave me englisch dictionary for christmas.  
it  
may not be the right thing to do but i unpacked it already.) but all i  
get  
is a funny message from ml that may mail is to big.  
what has ml to do with this? i thought ml is functional programming  
language  
and has nothing to do with ruby. i have tried ml and it is all  
(([]|[\_]));;  
. (no smiley but this is how it looks out)

Maybe it was too big. ruby-talk list server restrict size of a mail  
to less than 32KB.

Perhaps because there are those of us on bad connections that don’t want  
to  
spend the next 4 hours downloading your christmas card when we don’t  
celebrate christmas _ANYWAY_? That’s the boat I’m in.
