Understand, sort of, Dick - - -

Recliner, eh? Sounds like you may not have much choice. Well, 
adversity breeds innovation they (or "I"!) say!!

I'm not sure, but if I had a choice, I think I'd want my normal life 
back! But, alas, we don't always have choices, do we? But be glad 
you're dealing w/ a "Mac" and not a (Ugh!) "pc"!

Where then, is your 'rig', Dick. You surely are on the air, right? If 
so - maybe we can work out a "real" QSO. Possible?

Oh, and where is your home? One used to be able to tell more/less by 
the call. But no more! A W5 can be in - um-m-m- - - Alaska!

An now I gotta figger out what "Bluetooth" is!
