   MP>>   I wasn't aware that Bill McGarrity had passed away recently as well.   
   MP>> I've been so busy with stuff after my Mom's death and funeral on August   
   MP>> 9, that I've missed quite a bit of stuff.   
      
   MP>I just thought he never brought his board back up after the storm last   
   MP>year.  I did not realize he had also passed.   
      
     I couldn't remember the name of his BBS (Tequila Mockingbirg BBS), but   
   I had lunch with a local BBS Sysop (he picked up the tab as   
   thanks)...and he told me the name of the BBS. I knew Bill had ran   
   SportNet, but not sure what other networks he headed up offhand.   
      
     I gave him an old laptop that quit working on me. So, he formatted the   
   hard drive, and is going to put another OS on it. He got the laptop   
   (which I had gotten used at a ham radio festival (hamfest) several years   
   ago. It had Windows Vista Basic on it. He got the laptop, power supply,   
   and I threw in a Microsoft USB 2.4 Ghz wireless mouse, a mouse pad, and   
   an external DVD USB drive. I'm going to get him a US Robotics 56K v.92   
   Extrenal Fax Modem to him another day. I don't have a dial-up line, and   
   VoIP lines (i.e. MagicJack) don't work well with modems, but the analog   
   phone lines are all but gone now...as are the dial-up BBS's.   
      
     I bought a new Lenovo Laptop with Windows 10 64-bit on it, and can put   
   some stuff on it that won't work on my Windows 10 32-bit systems.
