Well as Alexander Graham Bell, once said so aptly," What has god wrought". Good job steve, but i suspect it will take us all sometime to adapt...harry

[Steve Machol]

Thanks Harry. I think you'll adapt much quicker than you think though. And once you get the hang of it, I think you'll appreciate all the new features and capabilities.

Samuel F. B. Morse would be very upset Harry to see you attributing his historic first telegraph message to A.G. Bell. I think Bell's first message was "Hey Watson. Get your butt over here!"

hello Mikeh, dont know what i was thinking of that day, and as a ham radio operator for over 40 years, i should probably feel worse. Actually the words were "Come here watson, i want you"..Harry

hi Harry! I just updated his msg with the "butt" part. Actually, I believe he spilled battery acid or something. I haven't done any radio stuff in years. When I was a kid, some elderly relative died and I got their big floor model short-wave radio receiver ( a Grundig I think.) I spent many an hour listening to far off places before the days of television. God, that sounds ancient! I wonder if they send e-mail QSL cards now?

[harry a saake]

Qsl cards are still sent, but not as much, god have i got a ton of those. 73,s and 88,s ..../.-/.-./.-./-.--

Harry, Alexander Graham Bell said "Watson, come here- I need you! (he had spilled some acid on himself)". Samuel Morse keyed in "what has God wrought?" with the first demonstration of the telegraph.

I think it was actually "what HATH God wrought?( My caps, not his.)

I think Bell said: Eureka! Watson come in here.
