Amazing…

As most of you know, a couple of weeks ago the refurbished MacBook which Pam and I bought Tommy for Christmas died beyond economical repair. We were both quite upset as we felt we had let Tom down a little by getting him a gift which proved so unreliable, and Tommy was so upset that his computer which he had looked forward to all year was now not working and could not be salvaged.
In an effort to sort the situation for him we tried drastically to sell quite a few items which we would not have considered letting go under normal circumstance. It has been an expensive 12 months for the Trons and ready cash is not quite as ready as it once was so we had to do this.
Out of the blue I was contacted by a forum member with whom my previous interactions had been all too brief, we did not really know each other but nevertheless this member sent me an unbelievable offer of help. Thanks to Mike (Mild7) Tommy now has a new MacBook and his excitement has brought much joy to our family. I cannot thank Mike enough and sincerely hope that he does not mind me posting this as proof positive of what kind of community this is.
Thank you Mike, and thank you IHF, also a special mention and thanks to G for helping us out with the shipping.
I'll let this picture show what it means to my rapidly growing lad.

I was reading through the pea coat thread and I was struck by this picture. I'll just leave it here.
