Hey Nancy!

 NB> Have you seen any evidence of the quails lately....?

Not yet.  I think my timing might be off.  Perhaps when things quiet down I'll
make more of an effort to seek them out.

 NB> my son uses his as a portable computer

I noticed my eldest daughter uses hers like a Nintendo machine (do they still
exist?) when she was last here.

 NB> Give you a challenge, and you're off and running...

That can work.

 NB> kicked in for the costs

Not enough neighbours for that to work out.  Before wireless I was paying all
the costs anyhow so that never was my incentive.  Getting wireless working was
originally just another challenge/distraction.  Also if I take money from them
then I'm committed to keeping it working whereas now I can call it quits
without any guilt feelings.  Also, also they pay me back in other ways ...
sometimes.

Life is good,
Maurice
