It's a fun operating system. If you can work WebTV you'll have no
problem. Linux rules! Congrats on your self-indulgence.


I seem to remember Motorola having a lot of technical difficulties with
their radios during the New York fiasco. Then they had the nerve to
advertise their 'expertise' in emergency communications. Lots of firemen
were cursing that outfit.


There were a dozen TV transmitters running full blast until the building
they were in fell down. Very difficult RF environment. Transmitters
should not be on occupied structures.- Hide quoted text -

The transmitters were NOT running full blast when the N.Tower
collapsed . All power was cutoff immediately following the impact . I
couldn't use my 2 cell phones or pager as of 9 AM . Nearly everything
was located on that single roof *!


Big time network TV stations use diesel generators when the power goes
out. They switch on automatically.- Hide quoted text -
