I loved my Palm devices.

IIRC (it's been a while) I played with a Sinclair being demo'ed at Kmart. Truly hated the keyboard. I wanted the TI 99/4a but it was ~$400. A few months later the 99/4a price crashed to $99 and the parents bought me one. Wrote my first BASIC programs on it, saved to cassette tape.

About 10 years ago I found the 99/4A in storage. The KB was also terrible compared to any keyboard these days, but still better than the Sinclair to my young fingers. Def not knocking the Sinclair, talking about personal preference.

It's a good question. I find it odd that they are separate entities but mail service still requires an Escapees membership.

90% of the time I use web interfaces, but I often have spotty connectivity while boondocking. So I need a client that can get/send gmail POP3 in narrow windows of connectivity.

I started with thunderbird but something (can't remember what) wasn't working well. Ended up with Evolution. It also syncs well to google calendar and google tasks.

My cargo van doesn't have windows, but here are my most recent spots in reverse chronological order:

• current spot, BLM campsite
• outside Alamagordo, NM, BLM
• near Holloman AFB; winds kicking up dust from White Sands and blotting out the mountains in the distance. Not sure what kind of federal land this is.
• near Las Cruces, NM, national monument

My present location is a bit of an anomaly as it is a somewhat-developed official BLM campsite. Pit toilet, trash cans, and covered picnic tables. What luxuries! It's very quiet, dark skies, and only lightly visited. There are 4-5 sites depending on how you count and only 2 are taken. I won't divulge the location directly but the clueful will be able to suss it out. :-)

Because it was a student project I expect it was a one-and-done.

How often do you downgrade Firefox versions

I don't remember ever downgrading a browser (started out on NCSA Mosaic).

Having switched to Zen Browser

Recently tried Zen -- I think it's pretty and shows promise but has a few dealbreakers that preclude my using it as a daily driver. TL;DR: "I slightly prefer the zen UI but not enough to overcome the annoyances. I’ll check back on the project next year if it’s still active."

What do you guys use for Windows to Linux remote access?

Putty

I want to see desktop

Some kind of VNC setup

TL;DR: laws based on emotion (especially those named after individuals, or that include the words children or patriot) are rarely good laws.

I tell her imagine if that was our kid missing, youd want as many people to see it as possible.

AMBER alerts don't do what the public thinks they do; they do what the politicians know they do: demonstrate doing something when the base demands "somebody's gotta do something". It's political equivalent of looking Very Serious and intoning "thoughts and prayers".

If we actually cared about the kids we'd notice the majority of AMBER alerts are due to frustrated non-custodial parents taking their kids, and to runaways. We could address the problems at first base, or we can continue to be shocked, SHOCKED I say, and go through the kabuki once again.

I generally only reboot for stuff like kernel updates.

The base doesn't care about such things, so I expect "I never said that" and/or "I was joking"

Saw the .de domain and my first thought was this was about using a potato ricer to make spätzle. I may not be normal.
