PC-MOS?

--------------Original Message: Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2007 09:16:46 -0700 From: "Chuck Guzis" <cclist at sydex.com> Subject: Re: PC-MOS? <snip> I think there are some simple ideas that are not amenable to "improvment" by addition of extra functionality. I've still not figured out all of the weird settings on my FM receiver, even though it affords no more additional functionality than the receiver I purchased in 1968. And, although it has a volume control knob, it lacks a tuning knob, a shortcoming in my book. <snip> ------------Reply: Amen to that! I think replacing tuning etc. knobs with up and down buttons is one of the worst examples of time-wasting "progress"; I love my ancient Pioneer receiver with a normal slide-rule dial _and_ a digital frequency display. If you add it all up, including the time we spend fiddling with computers, VCRs, microwaves, etc. we may be living longer but are probably actually living less, and with more stress caused by the frustration. BTW, back to the original subject: I've got a few multi-port RS232 cards if anyone wants one (no drivers though). m
