[James M. Walker]

Most folks are off LF now for one reason or another.
My building is being refaced, but I am running a receiver, and ARGO as
the Buf-Grab, problem I have is the receiver is down the hall from my 
internet
connection. and I can't load any captures to the web-server.

As for the Computer comment.

I still use 8080,8086 computers and software, and also the software 
development
systems for same. Like tubes, just because it is old-tech doesn't mean it 
doesn't
work. I have three repeaters being controlled by a Xerox 820 computer, Z-80.
Got an ATV repeater system controlled by Intel ICS-80 (8086) running Forth
with tape and live video controlled by the thing.

"It Don't have to be the latest, it just has to work reliably" FWIW
