Ed,

Daryl and mewas talking about Tagline Stealing.
Daryl said it was Gathering Research not stealing, that's why I
gave him an exaggerated R O G E R aka dit D A H dit .

Quebec Sierra Lima. (hi hi).

That is the best I know how to express my agreement with him
bacause on my computers the Tagline file is huge.

I trimmed a bit out of mine recently.

You can say I'm addicted to stealing Taglines, just can't do it
on this phone.

I never could find a good app to logon to a BBS via my Android
phone.

I use Firefox to Log on this BBS.

I had used Opera from when it was still shareware, but recently
switched to Firefox.

A week before my appointment with a Doctor I went to Radiology and Laboratory for tests.
When I saw the Doctor he looked at the reports and said they were good.
I told him "No one has to pay me to be good, I'm good for nothing.".

The Doctor liked that and asked where I learned that saying, so I told
him I made it up by myself.

I heard it a LONG time ago - like in the late 80's or early 90's. I still remember the co-worker that said it. :-)

That's in West Tennessee...

Daryl, When I signed up for this cellphone account I picked a Motorola 4G Android phone.
I asked the saleslady to put Firefox and DuckDuckGo onthe phone for me, as I had no idea how that was done that day.
I did not want to use the Chrome browser or Search with Google's Search Engine. Even tho I figure everything I do with this phone is stored by Google since Android comes from them.
Paranoid? Yep!

Re: Firefox, I use it to get to Mikes CCO BBS Home page to sign in with this cellphone.
I see that you use MultiMail on your desktop computer to add to your daily REP file.
I REALLY miss using MultiMail DOS for reading the QWK and putting replies in a REP and then sending the REP and grabbing a QWK by using the FTP file on my desktop box.That is why I still dream of wanting to use the Router my desktop and notebook are plugged in to to go to a CAT-5 Bluetooth radio device that is plugged in to the wired Router Output jack, as the DSL Modem was years ago.
In another BBS Network I wrote about my desires and learned my big idea isn't as easy as I thunk.

At least I learned to turn on

OOPS!, I tapped the wrong area of this phone and it Saved all that I had written
I was trying to type I had learned to turn AutoRotate On so I can turn the phone longways and have larger virtual Keyboard to type onto.
And if you thought I was getting LongWinded, I AM!
And I got my RCC certificate when I was a kNovice back in the late 1950's
Also I have timed out the 3minute timer on the two meter repeater many, many times
Remembering to toggle the PTT Button on the mike just didn't come natural to Me But I do try to be a good LID.

For anyone not familiar with Amateur Radio lingo RCC means Rag Chewers Club NufSad fer now.

Mortar M,
PTT = Push To Talk The button on the microphone that is held down to transmit, released to listen
some repeaters have a timer thatstops transmitting after say 3minutes and until the longwinded ham (Me) stops talking and releases his PTT Button the repeater waits until it receives a signal in its RX (Receiver) before it starts transmitter (TX) again.

The Official definition of LID means a poor operator, one who doesn't follow the regular procedure on phone or CW.
LID is the word spoken or sent on the key when another ham gripes you so much that you want to cuss him out.
Cuss Words weren't acceptable and could have the FCC mail you a Pink Ticket (Official Notice of Violation of Part 97 Rules).

Ed,

Paranoid? Yep!

I am using FireFox or DuckDuckGo as the browser and search engine.

I see that you use MultiMail on your desktop computer to add to
your daily REP file.

Life has gotten in the way, and it has been several weeks since I
checked the QWK Mail. I no longer can update the weather data on the
BBS in a timely manner, so I removed it.

I've lately been doing The Weather Watch Net for Arkansas Skywarn.
In the last week, I did one net with several hail reports from penny
to half dollar size. This past Tuesday night into Wednesday, I had
several severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings. After being up nearly
20 hours, I was exhausted. When the Tornado Watch expired at 5am, I
shut down the net...but 2 hours later, a new supercell developed along
the cold front, spawning a 15 mile long EF-1 tornado in south Arkansas.

It looks like Sunday afternoon and evening will be another weather
shift for me. Then, we'll have a freeze Monday and Tuesday mornings.
Those who've planted gardens early are not very happy.

I REALLY miss using MultiMail DOS for reading the QWK and
putting replies in a REP and then sending the REP and grabbing
a QWK by using the FTP file on my desktop box.That is why I
still dream of wanting to use the Router my desktop and
notebook are plugged in to to go to a CAT-5 Bluetooth radio
device that is plugged in to the wired Router Output jack, as
the DSL Modem was years ago. In another BBS Network I wrote
about my desires and learned my big idea isn't as easy as I
thunk.

All my computers are Windows 11...a laptop, a Beelink Computer,
and a Desktop. So all my stuff is 64-bit.

Daryl
