   GE Ed,   
      
    HG> Oh no, just like you was leaving Fidonet.   
      
   EV> NOT EVER!!!!!!!!   
      
   EV> This BBS  has FidoNet Echoes and also has Echoes from Mystic, Dove,   
   EV> GT Power and the iLink Networks.   
      
   OK so you are well setup then and don't miss ham radio too much, hi.   
      
   EV> Before 1984, I logged on a couple of 2 Meter Amateur Radio RTTY   
   EV> BBS's.   
      
   I haver never been hooked to RTTY even though I ran RTTY on a DXpedition   
   to Market Reef (OJ0) but it was with borrowed gear.   
      
    HG> I didn't suggest 'on the lap' but at the height of your lap.   
      
   EV> O.K.   Duh.     Memory - My PC has it, I don't.   .... ..   
      
   EV> This XP box is 15" tall but is on a stand with wheels which makes it   
   EV> 18" abt 45 cm above the floor.   
      
   My previus BBS machine ran on the operating desk with the screen/keybd   
   on the bookshelf beside and the mouse mat on an old IBM machine adjacent   
      
   The new machine is a tower that is lower than the IBM on edge but below   
   it are a couple of metal boxes and on top a CD/DVD cabinet that raises   
   the height to 21.5" for the mouse mat.   
      
   EV> Both of those PC's are in a corner of the room, ......   
      
   I want to get at the UBS connectors on the machine without having to   
   creep on the floor or behind the machine.   
      
   EV> I take the book off of my lap and put the Keyboard on my lap when I   
   EV> type.   
      
   EV> I guess that's the only exercise I get in this room -  swapping the   
   EV> Book I use the Mouse on, and getting the Keyboard when I want to   
      
   I get my exercise by going outdoors a couple of hours biking, skiing or   
   a scandinavian pole walk.   
      
    EV> THANK YOU!, doing that method has made life easier for Me now.   
      
   Glad you are happy with your solution.
