Hello Steveo:

I got a radio all right, I just don't have a computer that is all that
cooperative at times. When the skip is in, it isn't. When its quiet out
there, it ain't.

I have a picture of a Ax going thru a key board while setting on a tree
stump, yeah need to update the web site. Caption: "Yeah data error my ass"

I've had really good reports on the IC-SM6. Kinda small and the bottom of
the Icom desk line, but it seems to work well with the impedance. I tried
Astatic, Shure, and a no-name, but short of going with Heil, or the more
expensive Icoms, it does very well.

Rodgo. Icom is different than most HF radios in that the transmitter feeds
the mic. I have an old SM-5 that seems to work ok for me. I was wondering
if the upgrade to th sm-8 or sm-20 would be worth the $100-150 extra?

I talk to a local guy that did the conversion to the d-104 with an icom and
his audio is good too. Strange bird for microphones.

A real CBer reacts to the sight of channel displays, signal
meters and LED bar type meters in much the same way as a
real amateur reacts to the sight of a nice pair of 6146s or
a heavy metal fan reacts to the sight of an air guitar.
They grab a napkin and rush (with a limp) to the restroom.

That, Steve, is why only a real CBer goes blind after seeing
so many CBs lit up.

:~)

First you need to be able to use a camera first.

1. Point.
2. Click.

Cheap camera phone, cheapest on the market. 640x480,
poor night mode and extremely poor close up.
It's also very slow reacting. It takes some time to adjust
for the light, and takes a couple of seconds to take the
picture after you press the button.

You should see some of the strange effects. Apart
from adding colours that were not present, it can
make very solid objects look warped.

But it does for what I need. Anything better would
only get stolen.

Peter.

I am not surprised.

James,

Once you realize that every post made is not purely for your
titillation, and that we really can survive without your approval
of any particular post, then you will worry less about it.
I certainly don't have the time to report on every post that
fails to excite me, I just ignore them.

If failure to be impressed or interested is the worst of your
problems with messages on this group, then you are indeed a
lucky chap.
There was a time when following a link on this group could
leave you with much to explain about why certain content has
been found on your hard drive.

Regards,
Peter.

You were the first to post the question. I did postulate that you
intended a response. Usually when one posts an interrogative and is
seeking responses, they should expect both positive, neutral and
negative responses. Mine was intended to be more neutral and I
explained my position. It was not intended to be derogatory. Instead
it was to show that not all responses would be positive.

Now if less than favorable responses are not easily accepted maybe you
should refrain from such behavior in the future.

Trust me there are times when I do not respond to your posts and
others, as they are not warranted, I find them less intellectually
stimulating, or I care not to go where the thread may ultimately end
up. Remember, this is entertainment. It is something that one should
remember and often forgets.

To be honest I purge the news reader database from time to time when
the partition on the hard drive gets full. Besides if I want to go
back and review older posts I can use google. They have archives of
the USENET that spans back to 1992 and I don't need to keep large
amounts on the hard drive.

Hey Yo, I read some good reviews for the turner +3 and the super sidekick
on eham, with icoms. Have one laying around?

It was a reply to Steve.
If, in a crowded place, you ask a friend a question, are you inviting
a response from anyone who hears you?

Now if less than favorable responses are not easily accepted
maybe you should refrain from such behavior in the future.

I never said that I don't accept them, just that I am so
surprised that you find the time to respond to something
you have so little interest in.

Plenty of posts in this group do not impress me, so I just
ignore them. Most of them don't even get downloaded. It is
not just posts which are off-topic, but also those which do
not interest me.

I certainly don't reply just to say that I am not impressed
or that I don't care. I just don't have the time to bother
with stuff that does not really interest me, I am surprised
that you do.

The same applies to Web sites. Some companies and Web
masters make the mistake of believing that the lack of
negative responses means that everyone loves their site. The
truth is that those who don't like it or cannot navigate it
(because of poor design) simply go elsewhere without so much
as a whimper.
People generally only respond when fired up enough about
something.

Even you only have 24 hours in a day and only so many of them
for idle chatter. Did my failure to entertain you really motivate
you enough to spend some of that precious time responding?
Let it all out, what do you really think of CB, the equipment and
those who use it?

Remember, this is entertainment. It is something that one should
remember and often forgets.

The words "pure entertainment" come to mind. Some on the
group may be able to put a name to that quote.

It maybe only entertainment to you, but some do post serious
questions and want answers rather than entertainment.
Some also make posts to inform, and may not even read replies.

I suspect that people who only see this group as "entertainment",
and nothing else, are not really interested in CB. They come here
to be "entertained" by people they would like to see as "lower
lifeforms". Maybe they are bored with Jerry Springer, and will
eventually get bored with this "freak-show".
I may be wrong, but that is the impression I get. People on an ego
trip, desperate to feel better than someone else.

To be honest I purge the news reader database from time to time
when the partition on the hard drive gets full.

I thought I was the only one the only one running a system small
enough to worry about disk space.
I continually keep mine down to the minimum. I only download and
cache those of interest, blocking the known trolls and spammers
totally. I have it set to delete old messages, and compress the
files regularly.
For example, below your post, I see a reply by someone called
. My filter has decided it to be bum-fodder,
so it was not downloaded. Saves disk space and bandwidth.

For some reason, this group attracts trolls like flies to fresh
steaming crap. Maybe it's because they get fed here.

Besides if I want to go back and review older posts
I can use google.

When it comes to newsgroups, Google sucks. But the trolls seem to
like it, many of the troll posts seem to come that way.

Regards,
Peter.
