You would have to check with the local classical music station, or with "Performance Today".

That'd be my luck. Reminds of the deal at a local Wal-Mart the other day. Apparently, this individual had stolen a phone or gift card...but without activating it at the register, it basically was a brick. > I think of the meme where the guy says he's going to change is password o > "incorrect", as he keeps getting a message saying "Your Password is > incorrect".:P KM> LOL, I may have to use that one! Duct tape can't fix stupid, but it helps mask the noise. However, it may not work for blondes. :P KM> I make things even easier nowadays. What is your root password? "root" You might as well as get a beer to go with it. KM> I hate typing passwords. One of these days I'll get around to turning KM> it off entirely. Ain't no one else here to muck things up. I have a password manager for all my internet stuff. But, that reminds me of a deal back when my BBS was "dial-up" only. The BBS was still at what was my parents home (I moved out 3 months before I got married)...and this was long before I had proposed to my girlfriend...who was first a user, then my Co-Sysop, then my wife, Well, I was running GT Power under dial-up, and had setup a logon macro, where I could logon from the host console with just a function key input; since most of my logons were from the host (local) console anyway. Anyway, I was at my girlfriend's apartment, and wanting to logon. I dialed the number, connected, and it got to the logon prompt. I hit the function key on the keyboard...and nothing happened. I hit it again...nothing. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks... "You're not at the host console. You don't know your logon credentials. You can't logon to your OWN BBS"!!. So, the initials DS stood for "Dumb $*!+" :P > It happens to all of us. Three things fail as we get older. The first is > memory ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... darn!!

KM> Oh my. Where did YOU come from?? WARNING!! Alarm indicates that Sysop is in the area!! Look Innocent!! > Or you plug the power strip into itself, and wonder why it doesn't work. :P Or like these kids putting a penny with this plug...basically trying for a Darwin Award. KM> Electrical circle jerk. On a digital ham radio net years ago, on the mode of packet, one fellow ham radio operator thought that "E.D." (common in older men) stood for "electronic doofus". Now, I can relate to that, as electronics was never my forte'. The Net Control of this net was the wife of her husband, the Sysop. When it got to him, all he typed was "I'm curious to see how Ed is going to explain E.D. to Roger" (I'm chuckling like mad at this point!!). It gets back to Ed, and he asks Billie, the Net Control (her husband's name was K.O.) "Do you know Morse Code??". She typed "Yes, and I know a lot of other things as well!!". I was about to die laughing!! KM> I've never managed that one, but with a new PC build, when I first fire KM> it up to test, I have invariably forgotten to plug in something vital. KM> Often the power. One ham radio operator said that one this other ham radio operator wanted help getting his radio (which was plugged in and turned on) to work. He said "it took all he had to NOT type 'Key the Push To Talk on the Microphone'" . Daryl .... "We want the red dildo on the wall".
