 Yeah Ogg, they don't want us using bandwidth either. It's a strange thing. I have worked on and off in civil engineering inside the energy industry for years now and I've never been with an outfit that's so cash poor. It's just bad management and deregulation. When the Clinton years deregulation of electricity reached the Regan years of deregulated gas... well this is what's come of it. We have New York in our name but we're under a regional division that's under an international company now and they care very little for the stepchild of a stepchild.

  Here I'm using Nokia's clone of that blackberry which I loved but they were still using the Oki operating system and stopped support for it just before selling to Microsoft who killed the brand. Nokia bought itself back but they're either very basic phones or touch screens now. Shame really, it was a great tool. I've read that many smart phones can receive FM but the carriers lock out the feature. It's almost like they'd rather you use the data and force you into storage issues with carried media or using streaming services than relying on the local broadcast...
