Subj : Miss.RvrDamBreach-Davenpt To : Nancy Backus From : Barry Martin Date : Fri Nov 01 2019 10:07:00 Hi Nancy! BM>> So makes more sense to use Montreal. Just 'sounds funny' with my BM>> limited experience. NB>> I've flown out of Toronto to Great Britain a couple of times... made NB>> for a less expensive and better connecting flight... A British friend NB>> of mine that lived here in the Rochester airport told me that she NB>> flew that way all the time when she'd make trips back home, so I gave NB>> it a try... :) BM> Makes sense. The various locations play a big part. NB> Exactly. :) I don't have a reason to fly to Vienna without my Mother so "picking her up in Boston" is the only makes-sense option. And she really-really- REALLY likes Swiss (airline) so not going to change that. As for any other flying, Moline (IL - MLI) is just too convenient so would be the starting and ending points. Easy to fly into Chicago or Detroit (United and Delta hubs, respectively), or other cities. LIS, mostly depends on location. BM> When I was growing up in southern New Hampshire any major flying was BM> done out of Logan International (Boston - BOS); there was an airport BM> in Nashua NH but no commercial flights, next one was in Manchester NH BM> -- I don't recall much about it back then other than it was a military BM> airbase. While I was in college Manchester (MHT) took off (no pun BM> intended!) and became an alternative of sorts to Logan, only 50 miles BM> away. That allowed it to really expand and is now "Manchester - BM> Boston Regional", so a lot of travel which had gone to BOS now goes BM> to MHT. Lots of shuttle services between the two airports and the BM> areas between, air and ground. NB> Makes sense to divert some of the traffic off of Logan... keep it NB> from getting too congested.... Right, and I don't think they can expand too much -- fill in Boston Bay? No idea if there was an actual plan to make Manchester (NH) the 'expansion' or if it just sort of happened. BM> Also was thinking: we tend to think of the Earth as flat. Not BM> thinking Flat Earth Society flat, but flat as in table top map rather BM> than the actual sphere, which tends to alter the perception of where BM> things are. Looking at a flight path mapping ORD to ZUR is a definite BM> arced route on the flat map -- closer to a straight line on a globe. BM> Plus that route is north of the US's New England boarder with Canada, BM> so BOS is a detour. (The things one finds out with these little BM> chats!) NB> Never know what might prompt looking up things and learning NB> details... ;) Keep going East and I end up in ....Spain?! I'll admit to generally thinking England or maybe France is more easterly but they're north. Does make sense because know the coastal ocean water flow is pushed out towards England and causes their fog by Cape Cod. (Filed under "Things only a New Englander generally knows". ) NB>>>> Maybe someday when you are caught up on all those projects, and NB>>>> no But Firsts get in the way.... Maybe even take a course at NB>>>> the community college, or online...? :) BM>>> Isn't Googling for the answer considered 'on-line'? Actually BM>>> taking a classroom or on-line class wouldn't be a bad idea. By the BM>>> time all the But Firsts have dwindled down to allow for time to take BM>>> the classes there won't be any crisis for me to use my new knowledge BM>>> on! NB>>> But it could be useful for the next crisis thereafter... ;) BM>> True; really more reasons for than against taking the classes. NB>> That's what it was looking like to me... :) BM> But First....! NB> No, no.... we were going to try to get past all of those... They're everywhere! They're everywhere!! BM>> There are times when I have and I have seen others describe what the BM>> device looks like, what the screen appearance is, etc., because don't BM>> know the term ==> "the display from the computer is larger than the BM>> TV's showing" "Oh, you mean 'overscan'." NB>> When one doesn't know the word, description is definitely the way to NB>> go... and then one might even learn the right word for it... :) BM> Right. Some times the correct word makes just as much if not more BM> sense than the descriptive word/s: "picture too big" ==> "overscan", BM> though that makes sense only if one realizes the display on the screen BM> is really being scanned and not magically appears. OTOH "judder' -- BM> maybe derived from 'jerking' and 'shudder'? ...My brain hurts! NB> Now that's a word I'd not heard before.... ;) Nor I, which probably contributed to why I (and others) didn't know how to describe the visual effect in a single word. NB>>>> Still mind-boggling to me... ;) BM>>> Just the copying of the usual and customary small files on a grand BM>>> scale! ...Though sometimes get into the little details of a file system BM>>> will only handle so big a file and probably some other etc's. NB>>> True.... and EXACTLY... BM>> One way of learning is to get thrown into the pool! NB>> As long as one doesn't drown doing it... BM> But then one could have a whole new set of error messages! Reboot BM> could be 'everone out of the pool'; a computer freeze could be 'system BM> went ice fishing but the hole disappeared'..... NB> No thank you..... ;0 I'm thinking the novelty would wear off very quickly. ¯ ® ¯ Barry_Martin_3@ ® ¯ @Q.COM ® ¯ ® ....
