Just off the news:

Computer grid operator in Ohio at the beginnining of the Big Blackout, in response to an
inquiry::

"Our computers are all acting up, too! We don't even know the status of the stuff around
us!"

Yep, lets all put ALL our faith and confidence in Karl and his Komplete
Komputerized Kommunications Konsortium!!

What are you ranting about?

There's a whole spectrum of modes between CW and PSK31 that don't
require computers.

And besides, the power distribution system isn't using amateur radio
anyhow.

Sheesh!

I think that he misses the good ole days when messages were delivered
by the Pony Express. Back then, you didn't have to worry about
traffic jams.

He's ranting about all the great engineers that are frothing at the mouth to
get into Ham Radio but can't because of the "CW Boogie Man".
Just what we need, more "rocket scientists".

Also, after reading some of the replies to NCI's petition, you people really
need to invest in spell checkers. LOL

You just had to watch your step.

ROTFLMO. Well at least there is someone here who isn't humor
challenged.

SPELLING...in every usenet conversation, it's the last dying gasps of
a lost cause.

It goes kind of like..."I can't say anything intelligent, but you
mispelled a word so I have to be right." Posts get the attention that
they deserve.

In your case, it's pretty close to nun.

There, you feel more "right" now?

Well Bob,
I will always feel more right for several reasons, most of which are well
beyond your ability to comprehend.

By the way, you did very well on your spelling.
