Subj : Fiber Optic Update To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Thu Jun 25 2020 19:29:00 Hi Daryl! BM> Might be a duplicate - I didn't see it upload. DS> Well, this might be a triplicate, if I reply more than twice. Still using carbon paper, are we?! DS> That's because this week was next week last week. BM> That's right where I left it! DS> Glad to help you find it. Just had to look behind that obvious place! BM> He gets what needs to be done but is still a bit confused because BM> 'stuck' on his workorder stating a different job. Take him down to the BM> basement to where the modem is -- can sort of see his brain fast- BM> forwarding though the steps to get to the 'Install Router' step. DS> Or like the graphic "Installing Spring... Sorry, Spring Not DS> Found In Your Area. Go To Florida Instead??" .

Today is supposed to be the last comfortable day of Summer where the air temperature is nice and the humidity is low; tomorrow they're forecasting the start of the hot and humid season, with the heat index around 100ø over the weekend. BM> Actually a fun session: he saw my old-to-antique tube-type oscilloscope BM> on the bench -- vaguely knew what it was. Also decided to have a BM> little tech-fun. I have a few old serial port data switches I haven't BM> figured out if I want to toss of give away (Ky?) so he asked to move BM> and if he could take a picture - so somewhere out there there's a joke BM> picture with a data switch under a fiber-optic modem and router stacked BM> with a caption/comment something like "the customer can't understand BM> why not connecting above 1 Kbps"! :) DS> That explains where the 300 baud router came in.
