 HG> GD Ed,

 HG> Your message sounded to me as a thanks and farewell to Fidonet.

 EV> I'll have to look at My post again to see if it looks like that to
 EV> Me. Didn't mean to suggest Fidonet (or BBSing) not being useful.

 HG> Oh no, just like you was leaving Fidonet.

NOT EVER!!!!!!!!

I've been hooked on BBSing since I got the C=64 in early 1984.
This BBS  has FidoNet Echoes and also has Echoes from Mystic, Dove, GT Power
and the iLink Networks.

Lots of interesting information.

Before 1984, I logged on a couple of 2 Meter Amateur Radio RTTY BBS's.
One was ran on an Apple ][ PC and the other on an Atari 400(or 800) PC.

I used an Netronics Ascii/Baudot Video Board and their Keyboard on 20M HF
and 2M VHF w/ a home brew 555 AFSK Keyer and a home brew RTTY Demodulator.

The first HF RTTY QSO I made on 20M was on W1AW's Bulletin Frequency.

After the Bulletin session ended I type CQ and had a short QSO with a HAM
using a KIM-1 Computer iirc.

I had thought there would be other Hams listening to those RTTY Bulletin,
and that would be a good time of day to try out My RTTY setup on HF.

 EV> Some time ago You mentioned to Me about using the Mouse on Your lap,

 HG> I didn't suggest 'on the lap' but at the height of your lap.

O.K.   Duh.     Memory - My PC has it, I don't.   .... ..

 HG> For instance: All my stationary machines stand on the floor and the top
 HG> is abt 55 cm above the floor (2 feet minus 2 inches). On the top lays
 HG> the mouse mat.

This XP box is 15" tall but is on a stand with wheels which makes it
18" abt 45 cm above the floor.

Ye old 486 is 25" above the floor.

Both of those PC's are in a corner of the room, a desk is on one side and
at a right angle is another desk for my Printer/Scanner AIO.

Those PC's are kinda hid where I could't use a mouse as You do on them.

I take the book off of my lap and put the Keyboard on my lap when I type.

I guess that's the only exercise I get in this room -  swapping the Book I
use the Mouse on, and getting the Keyboard when I want to type something.

 EV> THANK YOU!, doing that method has made life easier for Me now.

 HG> OK.
