   Hey Benny!   
      
    BP> python on android ?   
      
   According to google, a few years ago python was second only to java for   
   creating apps for android.  It was more popular than google go, which one   
   would think would be first.  Also clang/clang++ which I have working on a   
   tablet and used it to compile binkd for android running in a termux shell,   
   which you recommended to me for running mc on an android based smart device.    
   As far as I am concerned termux is the best app I have seen thus far for smart   
   devices given the native bash enviroment it offers.  I did post some msgs from   
   it not that long ago but haven't fired it up since.  I am not a fan of smart   
   devices and only have one for testing ... such as binkd for android.  If the   
   tablet still works I'll fire off a msg to you from it to this echo.   
      
    BP> feel free to se my gopher server   
      
   I just did for a second time.  I like the ansi cows although moose would be   
   better especially the extra-special mythical Møøse.  Anyhow lynx is the only   
   browser I have that is gopher capable out of the box.  Both firefox and   
   seamonkey require some sort of plugin which I am not going to bother with.  I   
   dislike browsers and browsing, especially using gui ones.  99% of my browsing   
   is done using links but lynx is okay.   
      
    BP> oh wifi 6 ? :)   
      
   Yeah right.  Still using 2.4GHz as it gives the best coverage (range).  We're   
   getting a few lower end N connections but most concerned are getting sub 54G   
   speeds.  To do better will require illegal hookups ... or a broadcasting   
   license and a few million dollars for new hardware.   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
