I'm 78 and was forced to cancel my POTS because of continuing problems like loud buzzing, and go to a cell phone for my "home" phone. Electrical service is so poor I have a UPS on every computer, TV, and DVR in the house. Haven't needed to find a substitute for the water pipes, though. |

Typical problems of living in the wild wild, I believe. But how come the water pipes are more reliable than cables? They all come from that same direction, don't they?

Some links that may interest you How hard would it be for BBS software to run on telnet? I remember years ago that I had some program that would do telnet and there were BBSs you could connect to. Could BBS software be modified to be accessed from the web using a browser link? I also always wondered how hard it would be to get programs to run from the cloud instead of being housed on a personal machine. I wish some colleges get involved with Usenet and keep it alive. I think BBC software for schools would also be the bomb. |
