Did you see the case study of that one, Jim? Spooky! Too bad so
many of the folk flying with him knew they were probably going to die
some day with him at the yoke.

I saw a picture of an Air Force plane that was about to
fly right into the ground at their airport. Seems the
pilots were doing some silly frat boy stunt (mooning the
guys in the control tower) and lost control. It was a
plane similar if not in fact a B52. This happened years
ago.

Even smart people can do really stupid things!



Is your computer "State Of The Art", complete with broadband connection?



If we owns PC's, we isn't state of the art.


Once a model of a PC hits the stores, it's already
obsolete.

Yup, One of these days that will have to stop.




Heck, the only HF radio equipment you've admitted to owning is over
20 years
old. Definitely not "State Of The Art", yet you lecture others about it.



Random though mode on:

I have a 1987 Transciever. IC-745. Suits me just fine. All digital
(excluding the necessary analog bits)

Wow, even digital radios are getting old hat.

Radios age much better than PCs.

Yep, I can't envision myself ever wanting to use or to buy sa a TRS-80,
which is the first PC I ever used, but I could envision using and buying
lots of old radios.

And it's not even nostalgia, since I wasn't around when those radios
were. They are simply cool!
