      REPLY: 1:261/38.0 c72337a7       MSGID: 1:153/7001 5f4d2ae8       CHRS: UTF-8 4       Hey Andrew!               AA> I think for me the one big advantage to being able to write an        AA> app with a GUI is that maybe my nephews and nieces will be more        AA> interested in software I develop! :)              That might work. All I know is that everytime a young person comes over to my       place it is to get their device(s) to connect to the wifi. Once that happens       they lose interest in what I do although they are totally amazed that whatever       I am typing at the keyboard seems to get amazing things to happen. They       always ask me how I know what to type to make whatever they see going on -       usually on the monitor - happen. It is then I show them a commandline to play       a movie which totally floors them. I have a trailer with lego characters       doing the "Knights of The Round Table" song and dance from Monty Python's       "Search For The Huly Grail" on hand for such occasions.               AA> The copyright info in the source indicates 1996.              That sounds about right. It has been awhile and I am at the age where       senior's moments are noticeably on the increase. :-/               AA> just me shamelessly advertising a little.              That works for me. Glad to be of service.               AA> Are you working on any interesting projects these days, Maurice?              Not really at the moment. I was working on getting the two wifi access points       up to speed but everyone concerned seems happiest when I leave well enough       alone. I was hoping to get a mesh network going but there is a lack of       individuals up to the task so I've put that on the back burner and I suspect       it'll eventually get abandoned. Too bad since I see some fun to be had there.              Life is good,       Maurice              ... Don't cry for me I have vi.       --- GNU bash, version 5.0.18(1)-release (x86_64-lmbrain-linux-gnu)        * Origin: Little Mikey's Brain - Ladysmith BC, Canada (1:153/7001)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 103/705 120/340 123/130 153/0 105 135 141 757       SEEN-BY: 153/802 6809 7001 154/10 203/0 221/0 6 226/30 227/114 702       SEEN-BY: 229/101 424 426 452 616 664 240/77 5138 5411 5832 5853 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/317 400 261/38 267/67 280/464 5003 288/100 292/854 8125       SEEN-BY: 310/31 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/17 200 396/45 423/120 633/280       SEEN-BY: 712/848 770/1 2432/390 2452/250 2454/119 5020/545       PATH: 153/7001 757 221/6 154/10 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
