I'm down with a virus!
In case anyone wants to contact me, this is to let you know that my PC has been hit with a virus and I can't use it just now. This note is via a friend's machine.--Guanche Lady (talk) 09:38, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Guanche Lady! I have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on or by typing helpme at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! Vassyana (talk) 17:27, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your welcome, Vassyana!
I was amazed, when logging onto Wikpedia today, to see that I had a message. Thank you so much for the offer of help - I will certainly be taking you up on this sometime, once I have read the pages that you suggested (and eaten the cookies). I really am very low tech (I plead my age, 60, but I think that it is more that I lack patience...) so it will take me some time to get editing properly. However, Wikipedia is just the most wonderful project on the web and I want to do whatever I can to support it.

I was going to leave a message on your talk page, but was daunted by the enormous amount on it, so I'll put help-me at the bottom of this message.

By the way, I have a Spanish keyboard (I live in the Canary Islands) and this doesn't have a separate tilde symbol! It is a nuisance, as increasingly websites are using the tilde. However, the buttons on the editing page have a Signature one, so I hope that this will do just as well?

AH-HA! Just before saving this note, I have discovered that if I change the language on my laptop it enables me to use a tilde as long as I know where it is on an English layout keyboard! (Look at an old machine.) There! There ARE brains working in this antique yet! --Guanche Lady (talk) 13:23, 4 October 2008 (UTC)


 * No problem. Please feel free to leave a message on my talk page or send me an email (if you visit my page there's an "E-mail this user" link on the left) if I can be of any assistance. Enjoy the cookies! :) Vassyana (talk) 21:49, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
