   DAG>  Yeah my problem hasn't been getting the messages; it's been getting the t   
   DAG>in this particular terminal to respond to them.  I know that there were qui   
   DAG>few going back and forth with Nancy and I for awhile.  Always glad to get s   
   DAG>extra input.  :)   
      
     I don't do a much work with the BBS as I used to...including playing   
   the doors. But, I'm in the process of making a software switch from   
   Virtual Advanced to GT Power. The work isn't hard, but it sure is   
   tedious.   
      
   DAG>  Ack.  Yeah I just try to stay away from Microsoft in general.  The amount   
   DAG>resources that are used there, and the product that's being paid for...  We   
   DAG>I don't mind other people doing it, but it's not my choice.  ;)   
      
     The only thing I use Internet Explorer for is Windows Update.   
   Otherwise, I use Google Chrome.   
      
   DAG>  I have looked a little longingly at Synchronet's 'doze GUI, though, for   
   DAG>awhile.  At some point I may end up trying to set up Synchronet on Windows    
   DAG>VM just for the heck of it.  I basically only operate Windows if I'm using   
   DAG>Virtual Studio, though.   
      
     Rob Swindell (aka Digital Man) just released version 3.16 of   
   Synchronet.   
      
   DAG>  Smoke here from wildfires today.  Visibility at the airport was said to b   
   DAG>statute miles.  I'm guessing that hasn't been updated for awhile, I'd be   
   DAG>surprised if that'd hold to a test right now.  It's hazy and yellow out and   
   DAG>smells pretty thick of wildfire.   
   DAG>  Rain would be a good thing.  :)   
      
     I pass a lot of weather related traffic via amateur radio...and I've   
   been dubbed "The Jim Cantore Of D-Star". Jim Cantore is one of the   
   meteorologists with The Weather Channel...and D-Star is a digital mode   
   of amateur radio. But, unlike Jim Cantore...   
      
   1) I'm an amateur weather enthusiast (not a meteorologist), but I know   
   enough to be dangerous.    
      
   2) I have a full head of hair...although I've kept it short during the   
   hot summer.   
      
   3) I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night  (LOL).   
      
   DAG>  Do storms knock out your power pretty regularly there?   
      
     Florida may be the lightning capital of the world, but at times, I   
   dare say that Arkansas is a close second.   
      
     With one episode of storms, in a 12 hour period, 25,000 lightning   
   strikes were recorded across Arkansas. In a 1 hour period during that   
   time, in Pulaski County (Little Rock), there were over 500 lightning   
   strikes!! One of those hit a power substation in west Little Rock,   
   putting much of the western part of the city in the dark for several   
   hours.
