NB>> Exactly... Another good reason as far I am concerned to stay with the
NB>> known and not be quick to upgrade or change.... in Dos, the most I need
NB>> do (and that isn't even critical) is to logoff before I turn off the
NB>> switch... nothing that the computer needs do to shut down cleanly....
DS> Ah, the days of DOS and Windows 3.x -- when the computer didn't have
DS> a cow when you turned it off too quick.
You wax nostalgic.... but of course it is still reality for me.... ;)
NB>> Well, yeah... that's Windows, and Windows is confusing by definition..
DS> Failure is not an option...it comes shipped with Windows. <G>
Ah... that explains it... ;)
BM>> Oh, reminds me: half-heard on the news New York, New Jersey and
BM>> California were considering a quarantine period for visitors to the
BM>> states?
NB>> I think the third state was Connecticut, actually....
DS> I think Arkansas is doing it again now, as well.
I suspect that any state that has things somewhat under control will be
or is quarantining anyone coming into the state from a state where
things are rising again, whether visitors or those returning from visits
to those states.... I still don't really know, other than voluntary
compliance, how that is being enforced, though...
DS> I don't want to fly on COVID-19 airlines, or ride COVID-19 bus
DS> lines.
Dunno about the buslines, but from what I hear the airlines have a
pretty good record of not spreading the virus... and have been so
sparcely used that there's plenty of social distancing occuring
naturally... :)
DS> At least with Amtrak, I could get my own private roomette, and
DS> feel sort of safe. But, with Amtrak cutting all long distance trains to
DS> 3 days a week as of October 1, if I can't make connections in Chicago
DS> on the same day, it's not worth it.
I guess you'll have to wait and see how the schedules work out as the
time comes... :)
ttyl neb
... I'm not indecisive ... well, I don't think I am.
