-=> Quoting Maurice Kinal to Nancy Backus on 30-Aug-2018 03:33 <=-

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

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

That makes sense... 

 NB>> my son uses his as a portable computer

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

I think they might still exist.... my son plays games on his, too...

 NB>> kicked in for the costs

 MK> Not enough neighbours for that to work out.  Before wireless I was
 MK> paying all the costs anyhow so that never was my incentive.  Getting
 MK> wireless working was originally just another challenge/distraction. 

So it's always been pretty much for the fun of it... 

 MK> Also if I take money from them then I'm committed to keeping it
 MK> working whereas now I can call it quits without any guilt feelings. 

There is that... 

 MK> Also, also they pay me back in other ways ... sometimes. 

And that can work, too....  

ttyl         neb

... I feel completely alienated from what passes for popular culture.
