if either is true then maybe some other guys around here who are
computer bigots can stop judging people by what technologies they use,

computer illiteracy (in their minds this is the same as being stupid)
upon all webtv users. i could name several of you "real computer" guys
who are jerks just like Cuhulin.

I tried WebTV for a few days as it came pre-installed on my first DVR.
You have to be a masochist to use it. It is painful. It has no
mouse. I have no respect for anyone who doesn't upgrade to at least a
$300 computor for web surfing (unless they are that dirt poor, which
Coon-ass obviously isn't).

david, no ****! dont get me wrong. i am in no way standing for or
promoting webtv. i am saying that bigotry is a habit. when i see a
computer bigot in action i can presume that he is also a bigot in other
more important aspects of his life. i just feel sick that people are so
empty in their lives that they take their self respect and self image
from some piece of hardware. "i gots me a "puter! i is smart!" i see
bikers doing this with their harly davidson scooters. to them even a bmw
scooter isnt good enough. there is a guy right on this ng with a drake
who tells guys with lesser radios to "tote it!". in short some buy their
reputation and self worth with cash and imagine themselves the elite.
the rest of us normal well balanced people with plenty of
responsibilities to give our lives meaning are just unwashed masses.
and by the way....... as my hot rod lap top computer lies on the shelf
broke down for the third (and last) time from something that i suspect i
got right HERE, i am using my wife's webtv. if i ever put another penny
into that computer it will be to dedicate it to run a tentec black box
radio.

I just buy the cheapest thing Fry's sells and upgrade as required.
The Ten-Tec is tempting. I'll probably wait for Solar Max though.

There's some PDA apps for the TenTec that look really sweet. Get a
used PDA and a black box for solar powered backpacking DX maybe.

I keep all my status symbols hidden.

Hi-

I'm using Rory Davis' Palm software to drive my Ten-Tec 321, it was the
only Palm software I could find. What other Palm apps are available?

Thanks
