   Hallo Nancy!   
      
    NB> I trust you are well, and not affected much by the coronavirus...?   
      
   The entire world here has seriously impacted, especially Vancouver where there   
   have been 13 deaths last I heard.  Nobody that I know has got it thank   
   goodness and where I am has been procticing social distancing as a matter of   
   course for the last 20 years I have been living in this location.  We're not   
   exactly hermits as such but wee tend to keep to ourselves along with being   
   neighbourly and friendly.  So far so good.   
      
    NB> We are fine here, but there are lots of restrictions and closings   
    NB> to try to stem the spread of the virus....   
      
   That sounds very familiar.  I do wonder aloud whether it might be a bit of   
   overkill but then again even without any viruses the hospital system has been   
   under strain for decades so something like this is a potential nightmare if   
   and (probably) when more cases start showing up in emergency rooms.   
      
    NB> $90...?  They run about $60 or so here....   
      
   Definetly your brand is in the $90 range.  Glenlivet is around the $60-$70   
   range.   
      
    NB> I remember when one could get a good single malt for $30   
      
   Same here but a long, long time ago in a land far, far away.   
       
    NB> Nostalgia, no doubt... ;)   
      
   I concur.  Them were the days ... as long as I only reflect on the good times   
   that is.  The reality is that $30 back then is probably worth more than $90 is   
   today for day to day items.  The *only* thing I can think of that is cheaper   
   are computers and associated parts, and in most cases the more modern   
   equipment is vastly better.   
      
    NB> Prices don't get rounded here...   
      
   Here they are rounded down to the nearest nickle.   
      
    NB> ... It's working now; I don't want to break it by fixing it   
      
   That fits fidonet to a tee.   
      
   Het leven is goed,
