[Ham-Computers] Trojans in Update Software

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Hi Dave,

Here is a copy of one of the three letters I sent you yesterday afternoon -



I do not know how this happened, but I already own a BU 1925 P and 1929 P
Lincoln cent! In fact, I bought them from you years ago!

What I was refering to when I said "before 1930" were two Buffalo Nickels to
go along with the T1 and T2 1913 nickels.

I do not remember if I gave you the list of coins by phone or e-mail. I
appologize for the confusion.

I am still working on the list of Lincoln cents that you asked me for. Sorry
it has taken me so long to get it done. Ever since the heart attack my
energy is a long ways from what it was! The cardiologist tells me that is
perfectly when the heart muscle has been damaged. Well, it may be normal but
I am not used to falling asleep if I sit down for ten minutes! Makes it
might tough to read this physics text I have been struggling with for six
weeks! I wake up and have to search for where I last recall reading
something. Very annoying!

I am trying to put together the following for the grandsons:

Two Buffalo Nickels in the twenties.
1 BU Liberty Nickel.
1 Barber Dime BU - unless a lot of money, then AU.
1 Mercury Dime BU in the teens.
2 Mercury Dimes BU in the twenties.
2 Mercury Dimes BU in the thirties.
1 Barber Quarter BU, unless expensive, then AU.
2 Standing Liberty Quarters XF/AU. Not
2 Washington Quarters BU: 1932 P and 1933 or 1934.
1 Barber Half, XF+.
1 Walking Liberty Half in the teens, XF+.
1 Walking Liberty Half in the twenties, XF+
1 Walking Liberty Half in the thirties, AU+.

Work on these coins, there is no rush Dave. Christmas is still thirty-six
days away! (LOL!) If I go broke buying the coins, the kids can wait until
their birthdays! Grandpa may not be as young and healthy as those four
grandsons, but grandpa is smarter, been there - tried that and assuredly
more devious than they realize! It is called survival!
