Hello from Manassas, VA

[murrphys]

Hi everyone, thanks for having me. I just recently got back into SETI@home after some ten years and decided to join the team. Cruncher Pete invited me to join, Thanks Cruncher Pete!

Hi murrphys!

Welcome to SETI.USA good to see an old time Doctor Who fan :) I grew up with Jon Pertwee and mainly Tom Baker as Doctor Who back in the 70's/80's in England.

Welcome to the team. Glad you found your way here. Let us know what kind of equipment you are using and we will try to answer any questions you have as to getting the most out of it. :)

Welcome to the team! Glad you are getting back into the hobby.

Bok - yeah I'm the same as you, a huge fan of Tom Baker and John Pertwee, my two older brothers got me into the show when I was a kid. Unfortunately we lost two actors from both of those Doctor's years, Nicholas Courtney who played "Brigadier Sir Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart" and Elisabeth Sladen who I'm sure you know played, "Sarah Jane Smith". But I have every single Tom Baker episode either on DVD or in digital format, so their memories will live on for me.

I'm also not afraid to admit that another hobby I started was knitting a Tom Baker/Dr. Who scarf. I had to teach myself from youtube videos and a few websites dedicated to making the Dr. Who scarf (yes there are websites specifically for this topic). I'm hoping to finish it before next Halloween (2012). I tried forever to find one on ebay and craigslist, but in the end decided it wouldn't be perfect unless I made it myself.

Yes, was quite a shock when Elisabeth Sladen died, I've actually met her way back when.

And of course Doctor Who is where my nickname comes from.... Do you know the episode (without looking it up!).

My mom made me a Tom Baker scarf when I was a kid, haven't seen it for years..will have to see if I can find it when I go visit her in England the next time!

+++1 Big time DW & Torchwood fan here so a hardy welcome to the team. And thx CP for inviting our newest member. So murrphys if you have any questions or comments feel free to post.

[spingadus]

Yay another Dr. Who fan! Welcome.

Talking about DW shows ones age. I remember meeting Jon Pertwee at a convention when I was a kid. I love the modern DW as well and Torchwood is awesome.
