Sure, suit yourself, I just like debating points about religion via email

and of course you do not have to send an email. Have a nice week.

No, I never won any prizes. We HAD to know how to spell when I went to

school. The teachers were very strict. I could even, up to now, be able to

spell a word that anyone asked for the spelling. Lately I have had to double

check the spelling, by printing it and check to see if it looked right.

Re: open letter to W98 users

Hi Angel,

I completely understand your reluctance towards e-mail. I was like that for

a while, until I found that there just weren't that many people interested

in me.

I've received two un-solicited e-mails in my life, both from NG's, and BOTH

to thank me profusely in person for the assistance I gave them. My head

couldn't fit through a doorway for a week afterwards.

I do converse with some MVP types on a semi-regular basis, and have never

been told to get lost.

This my dear is *entirely* up to you. Just remove NOSPAM from my header. I

will certainly understand either way.

Take very good care!

Oh, and a pen that recognizes hen-scratching...I'll get one FIRST!!

Pps Do you have a "Spill Chunker" for OE yet--I have a pretty good one, and

it's free.

LOL I do not have children, but I wager they may be older than Dan too.

(No cut-down Dan).

On a side note, I would love to at least audit Bill in Colo. class. Bet I'd

learn a lot.

Re: open letter to W98 users

Well, I also cut my teeth a bit on some vacuum tube stuff (as a teenager).

On some occasions when messing around with that electronics, it was truly a

"shocking" experience (pun intended). Gotta be careful when messin

around with 300 volts DC inside there! It's something you never forget.

Re: open letter to W98 users

Bill,

I understand.

My first Novice rig was an old Army ARC-5 (had to be converted to xtal

control in those days), with a pair of 6146's in lieu of the standard

1625's. I had to *promise* my mentor, the owner of the rig), I would

"promise" to keep the plate current within legal limits--I did.

Bad part of that setup was it did not use grid block keying, but rather

Cathode keying with 625v across the Morse key. A few jolts , and you learn

your lesson.

I was resricted to 80 meters only, but get this, in a 50KC bandwith for

Novices, I had over 30 xtals. I learned how to grind suprplus crystals on a

piece of ceramic, and Comet cleanser. Course they stopped oscilliating

along the way. but came back again--albeit "chirpy"

Oh, the stories Bill.

Very glad to have meant your acquaintance.

Re: open letter to W98 users

Hi Bill,

I did go to classes on the computers in '92. They had Novell at the

University. We used DOS and

Lotus 1 2 3. I took a class in '98 on the Windows '95. The first personal

computer I had at home was Windows 95. No modem. I used the ones at the

University to access the internet. Windows '98 was self-taught. I never

opened a computer myself. I have so much electricity in my body, I let

someone else do the stuff in the tower for fear of *blowing up* the

components. I would like to learn more about the computer's components. I

cannot get into those classes here. Those are available only to the computer

science, etc. students that are working for a degree.

Re: open letter to W98 users

LOL, this all sounds sooooo familiar. But it's sure been awhile....

It's really too bad the hobby of amateur radio (and actually a LOT of other

things in society) have gone the way they have. :-(

And I miss the good ole days of the 807s, 6146s, and the homebrew (and not

off the counter, appliance operator operated), radio equipment.

Interesting, Angel.

And they won't let you take such classes over there without "pursuing a

degree"? I would think you could register for them in some non-degree

seeking status, as long as you met the prerequisites. But you'd probably

have to pay for these, degree seeking or not.

Sometimes you can audit courses, too, but the trouble with just auditing

classes is that you really don't learn as much, since there is (often) no

real committment to the course like there is when you are taking it for a

grade. :-)
