DS> Ah, the days of DOS and Windows 3.x -- when the computer didn't have DS> a cow when you turned it off too quick. You wax nostalgic.... but of course it is still reality for me.... ;) NB>> Well, yeah... that's Windows, and Windows is confusing by definition..

NB>> I think the third state was Connecticut, actually.... DS> I think Arkansas is doing it again now, as well. I suspect that any state that has things somewhat under control will be or is quarantining anyone coming into the state from a state where things are rising again, whether visitors or those returning from visits to those states.... I still don't really know, other than voluntary compliance, how that is being enforced, though... DS> I don't want to fly on COVID-19 airlines, or ride COVID-19 bus DS> lines. Dunno about the buslines, but from what I hear the airlines have a pretty good record of not spreading the virus... and have been so sparcely used that there's plenty of social distancing occuring naturally... :) DS> At least with Amtrak, I could get my own private roomette, and DS> feel sort of safe. But, with Amtrak cutting all long distance trains to DS> 3 days a week as of October 1, if I can't make connections in Chicago DS> on the same day, it's not worth it. I guess you'll have to wait and see how the schedules work out as the time comes... :) ttyl neb ....
