  NCIS: Origins Just Intensified the Gibbs/Lala Bond and ?
  Surprise! ? Introduced a Young [Spoiler]

  OK, because the article doesn't make your claim clear, you're
  going to have to explain it...

 
  Yes it did. Who was Gibb's good friend in the original NCIS?

 
  Again, for those of us who aren't "NCIS" fanatics, just explain
  it, please.

 
  Since you don't watch the show much, would you even recognize the
  character's name?

 
  Yes, I know who Fornell is. But I don't know the specifics of how
  he and Gibbs were supposed to have met, according to the NCIS:
  Mothership.
 

  We see Gibbs and Formell meet for the very first time in YANKEE
  WHITE. Which is the first production episode of NCIS. The first
  episode after the pilot on JAG. The episode that introduces Kate
  and memory holes Blackadder.
 
  So ORIGINS has Gibbs and Fornell knowing each other decades before
  they
  met.  In 1991 instead of 2008.

 
  I've forgotten already, even though I just watched the episode
  Thursaday. Were Gibbs and Fornell actually introduced to each other?

 

 
  While I was checking this out for Suzi Q a fun thing happened. I am
  in a rehab facility and the CNA who was doing some stuff in the room
  heard the episode start up and not only recognized it just from the
  sound as NCIS but as Yankee White, he knew more About the show than
  Ian will ever forget.
 
  He says Gibbs and Fornell have yet to actually meet on ORIGINS;
  apparently Fornell met Franks. But he has no doubt Gibbs and Furnell
  will meet they have to.
 

  Thanks. What are you doing in rehab, your leg get worse?

 
  I got bad insulin. Blood sugars hit record high. Wackiness ensued.
 

 Geez! Glad you're semi-okay!
 
 Get well soon. The froup relies on your platinum-quality snarks
 especially since the TV content these days deserves that snark so
 very much.

 Welcome back! Haven't heard from you in a long while. I had despaired that
 you were among the many who have given up on Usenet lately.

 
Thanks for the re-welcome!
 
Multiple computer hardware and a couple of software problems have
caused cascading headaches since mid-August. Even now, I'm stuck using
a laptop with a wonky "e" key just to check email and Usenet while
I attempt to trace down the hardware problems on TWO desktops that
decided to turn ornery one after another. :/
 
I'll keep trying to get one of the desktops working while cussing
at this danged crappy HP laptop keyboard and it's wonky "e" key
until I get *something* else working correctly.

I myself had to endure the demise of the Mac Pro desktop I've been using since
circa 2013. It was frozen in time on an old version of Mac OS X because if I
upgraded the OS any farther, my newsreader (MT Newswatcher) and Finale 2009
(the music engraving software I use to make some side money) would stop
working. (I had a newer Mac mini running in another room with the latest
version of the Mac OS for all my other computing activities.)

Back at the end of October, on a sunny Saturday morning, the power went out on
our block for approximately 1.5 seconds. Not even long enough to send the
clocks back to flashing 12:00.  But it was long enough to crash that old Mac
and when I tried to reboot it, I got the Apple logo and the progress bar but
it would then stop halfway through the boot-up process and after about 10
minutes, it would just shut itself off again. Took it in to the Apple Store
and they couldn't get it to boot, either. They speculated that the power shut
off right at the moment the computer was writing/modifying a system file which
caused the file to be corrupted. Only option was to completely over-write the
hard drive with a fresh OS install, but that would cost me all the data on the
drive.

Of course, according to the laws of the universe, this hit at a time when I'd
been uncharacteristically lax in backing up my files. I had about eight film
score cues that I'd engraved that I hadn't backed up to the other Mac or to my
Google cloud drive. Eight doesn't sound like much but it represents about a
month's worth of work that I do not relish having to redo.

I had resigned myself that something like this would happen eventually. The
computer was a dinosaur, after all, so all I really want are those files. I
bought a hard drive dock off Amazon for $25 and I'm going to open up the old
machine and remove the drive and put it into this dock and plug it into my
more modern Mac with the hope that it will mount as an external non-system
disk which will bypass the corrupted system file and I can pull all those data
files off it without having to redo them all.

And yes, MT Newswatcher is now history for me. I'm using Usenapp on the newer
machine now, which is fine, but I really liked Newswatcher's interface the
best. Sad to see it go.

And no, I'll NOT be getting a "new" desktop unless I can find one
configured the way I want it without any taint of a Microsoft
product or paying a Microsoft tax for an OS I will never use. :P
