Nice job Robie, I have confidence Mark will be right in the very near future...I sure miss him on the Pioneer boards..Thanks for all your help!
 
Hi Robie, would like to donate $100 to Mark's Paypal account. I read through lots of the thread and it seems like I am to PM you to get that information (PM sent).
He is a great guy, the level of AK support is a testament to his reputation. I am so impressed with your efforts to support him, along with all the AK members that have rallied to help him. Bravo!!! Regards, Howard
 
Robie, thanks for doing all that you have done. What wonderful support you have shown, and mustered from AK!

And, what a sense of community, as we all watch this thread anxiously for some word from Mark. Three weeks in hospital, that would be hard to take. And more to come, obviously. Best wishes to Mark for a return to health.
 
Best wishes for Mark.... I hope you have a speedy recovery Mark, and good fortune you so much deserve.

You have shared your wealth of knowledge with so many without
second thought, and it is greatly appreciated by me and many others.

Again, best wishes and good luck.
 
Hope you get well soon mate.
Your help knows no bounds, you have helped people all over the planet.
Much good karma for you.

Dan.

ETA, Thanks Robbie, he has a good friend in you.
 
thank you everybody

on a ventilator here and this is the first time i have been interactive on the web

at least i finally got this virgin mobile card USB link ONTO the web


weird sleep cycles and timings don't help

using the computer, especially posting is an unexpected exertion from a supine position. SEE the keyboard and screen?
BALANCE a laptop on your chest while 1 fingered typing !

edit: mark here in September, it probably took me over a half hour to get that first post in, back then....
and something (meds? blood chemistry?) was having some very interesting psycological effects, starting with weird dreams.
There was a point where "everything clicked" and I was finally straight headed again.

Welcome Back, Mark. Glad to see you haven't lost your sense of humor! You had a lot of people on pins and needles for a while there.

Take your time and get well. And don't worry about us, we'll all be here when you get back.

Glad you got it going again, Mark and, more importantly are feeling better.

Please let me know if there is anything else you need.
 
All, now that Mark's on line, we should all post our well wishes here!

I know many of you asked me to relay them but there are just too many so please post them here where Mark can see them.
 
Hey Mark,

I knew you were back on-line, Mouser and Nichinon shares went up this morning. :D

Seriously though, glad to see you are recovering.

All the best mate,

Lee.
 
Mark --- Glad to hear from you personally --- but PLEASE don't overexert yourself
trying to keep up with AK. Your rest and health come first.
Best Wishes to you...... James
 
All of this reading has got me to thinking....

should we come up with a 'DR' (disaster recovery) solution for Marks knowledge?

For example, if there was a zombie apocalypse tomorrow and Mark was one of the ones who got et, once it was over, does that mean if you own a pioneer, its over?

Could we work with him to get his notes transcribed, or scanned, his replacement lists scanned and organized and create the 'Mark the fixer (living) memorial library'?

He has made a crapload of contributions over the years and it would be good to immortalize them. Mebbe even put em on a spacecraft and launch em towards the borg...

I know we have the database of manual scans, but do we really have a database of knowledge dumps?

I recall when Smokie Yunnick lay expiring, there was a rush to get his memoirs out before the events and happenings were lost forever. I for one, bought one of the autographed sets and I would be happy to do the same here.

If someone wants to drive this, consider the first terrbyte of storage on me....
 
Mark, I do it all the time with a cat on my chest, you get better at it!! Good to see you back, Godspeed my friend.
 
Mark, glad to see your back online. Best wishes from my family to a speedy recovery. Take care of yourself first and get well soon.
