Synchterm will allow Windows (and many other operating systems) to
communicate with BBSs that have full CGTerm Commodore 64 PETSCII
support.

It's really neat. I wish PETSCII was embraced by all terminals!

Re. 140: Good luck! The company I joined a year ago
seems to be struggling too but there's very little
technology work within commuting range and I'm not really
qualified for anything else. I'll just do the best job I can
until I can find something else.

Thanks, Andy. It might not be much of an interview, but it all depends
on a job opening up that fits my title/role. If not, then that's it
and I'll be interviewing for another job. I'm hoping it won't be a big
deal and that something opens up (the industry has a lot of training
requirements and starting a new job means going through all that again,
for example, plus learning a new company culture and ways of working).
Good luck with your job situation, too, Andy!

preceding series'. Stargate SG-1 and Stargate: Atlantis were wonderful.

I'm not sad but I do have the feeling of dread.
The financial markets melting. Restaurants, schools, stores,
manufacturing plants, public venues, etc. closing. I don't know who to
trust with the info on COVID-19. Is it the end of the world? A nothing
burger? The same people fear mongering went from one extreme to another.
Now my kid is out of school for a while. Very likely the numbers will be
higher when the kids are supposed to go back - probably won't see the
classroom again until Fall. Was told not to return to work until the
foreseeable future. Can work from home. Many are excited. I have dread.
Been hearing the COVID-19 is a bioengineered chimera using AIDS which is
why people are getting it again and again. You don't get rid of it. Who
the F knows though either way. Also hearing that basically everyone will
get it. Just a matter of time. Also trying to rip a Pavement CD and
track 8 won't rip. The Fing humanity. Pizza might help me just for a
hour. Toilet paper and purell will save us all. Idiots blaming Trump and
the 1%. Chinese blaming America now. Americans bombing Iranian targets
in the confusion. Secret stock trading by algorithms pump and dump while
we sleep. Aliens too grossed out to exsanguinate the cattle.

I'm disappointed in the hype.
The uncivil response to the hype perhaps.
People going overboard at the grocery store on ridiculous choices.
Every business sending an email about how serious they take COVID-19 blah
blah. Everyone wants to get in on how serious they are.
Shelter in place. My cousin called me approx 15 years ago. He worked
for Tom Ridge. Remember when everyone was supposed to get duct tape and
barricade themselves indoors to avoid airborne germ warfare?
Or maybe it was a dirty bomb attack. Or asbestos. Or Jehovah Witnesses.
Toilet paper...Friedrich Weyerhaeuser must be break dancing in his
grave at this. up 17% on Friday.
At my work place people started to get crazy. They all wanted to
telecommute so some started to rip VOIP phones out of the wall.
These are POE voip phones that only work on our MPLS. It's not like
anyone has POE routers and a VPN into our LAN from their house.

Around here the shelves at the grocery stores are mostly bare. People
line up before 6 a.m. to get whatever has been restocked when they open.
Items are gone before noon. Lather, rinse, repeat. Very sad.

My wife kept going shopping. Twice a day at least. I told her again and
again she might be bringing the virus home. I nagged her so much about
it that she stopped.
Add nagging to social distancing, hand washing and self-quarantining.

re #160
Those little "cheats" defeat the purpose of self quarantine.
I hear all the time from pharmacists how almost half of the folks
are getting infected needlessly.

IBB spectrum e-mail is messed up today. They have a monopoly in my area,
so it's not like I can get another ISP easily.
