     That's the interesting thing, I have radios and cameras 
some of which are older than I am, and I am getting to be a 
dinosaur, all of which work well and continue to be 
supportable where most modern equipment is obsolete when its 
five years old. The main interest in old computer stuff is 
how to dispose of it without hurting the environment but I 
have seven radios in this room which are all between fifty 
and seventy years old and work fine plus two others which 
are awaiting some repair but are repairable.

Merry Christmas and a happy new year too Howie and to all on 
this list.
