I would've emailed, but I have a 'disposable' email account, so I'm posting. Hope it's the right place.

Long time reader, first (well really, 3rd) time poster. Luv yer stuff. Started reading about 5 years ago when I needed to re-setup, tweak, backup my system for video editing (and DVD copying. I can't buy un-pirated DVDs here, so it's OK. Isn't it? Hmm...that's probably another topic to post.). Blah, blah, blah...

Down in the dumps? Rat-race gettin to ya? Wanna wonder how third world, communist oppressed, dirt-poor, uneducated, seemingly assbackwards people can be so happy? Like adventure? Gorgeous scenery? Don't need/want 5-star comfort (even in the best hotels!)? Come to Viet Nam! (I know...sounds like an ad on CNN.)

I was gonna start a web site, but none of my friends seem to have any interest in this place. Been here almost 8 years, and I'll never go back to the states to live again! (But I do miss South Coast Plaza, the view from Griffith Observatory, an In'N'Out Double Double with grilled onions...Oh well.)

If other tech-geeks (and damn proud of it!) are interested, I'll post my email address, and maybe create a site. If not, I'll shut up and just go back to wondering why Symantec isn't paying Rad! 

I'm a little confused ... If you're so "in Love" with Viet Nam ... why do you show "Get away from it all...come to Viet Freakin Nam!" in your greeting?????

Sounds like you're pretty content over there, but you're label hardly indicates you'd be a good spokesman. I doubt your web site would attract many ads from travel agencies with that moniker Why not give the country its' due and reflect in your greeting what you appear to feel (based on the content of your message)?

With that said ... where are you at, where have you been? I visit my wife's family in Viet Nam every other year. They live in Binh Phuoc province, near the Cambodian border. The area is pretty technology deplete ... I guess that's why I really enjoy my visits. Let's me get away from the rat race.

I would Love to hear more about your experiences. If you'd like to trade stories post an email address.

I'd be interested in hearing about viet nam, I've never been there but it played a hugh role in my life.
