Subj : virus stuff To : Daryl Stout From : Barry Martin Date : Sun Aug 09 2020 07:11:00 Hi Daryl! DS> Years ago, a former Sysop and his wife (both are dead and gone DS> now) were "about to get frisky", when a telemarketer called. Not DS> to lose anything on the moment, they "let it all hang out" . DS> The telemarketer was so embarrassed, that he hung up!! He DS> probably thought he had dialed a porn line!! BM> Yours is more interesting than my phone call! DS> Well, it wasn't mine...but I had to laugh when told about it. I have to admire people who are fast to think of 'counteractivties' like that! DS> There's a franchise in central Arkansas called "David's DS> Burgers", at www.davidsburgers.com -- if you order a combo, you DS> get unlimited french fries. BM> Sounds good! ...Wonder how they do the unlimited French fries with to BM> go and delivery orders?! DS> That I'm not sure of. Right now, dining rooms are limited to DS> 67% capacity...and the best time to go is after the lunch rush is DS> over. That's called 'early dinner'! Unless we don't have a choice we try to avoid the various rush hours: less crowded, usually better service. DS> When I was on dial-up, I used a door from Sunrise Doors DS> Software, called CID Check. It took the number from the modem, DS> and that was the equivalent of a telnet email verifier on today's DS> BBS's. BM> It would seem the phone companies could do the same. DS> I remember paying for the Caller ID when I had the landline. DS> But, after the way AT&T did my late Mom and myself, I'm never DS> going back. Besides, their phone lines are likely VoIP instead of DS> analog, anyway...and I've already got that with T-Mobile...and at DS> least half the cost. When I removed DSL I was surprised how much cost was going to be left of the bill for just telephone service. The service charge itself isn't all that bad, all those little add-on charges add up: recovery fees (what are they recovering?), this fee, that fee, plus of course the taxes -- which are fine as help run the various governments. BM> Mine can; just one less intreruption. More convenient for me to check BM> their app on the phone. DS> My pharmacy doesn't have an app, but they have a Facebook page. Hmm: they post for all to see your prescription is ready for pick up?! ¯ BarryMartin3@ ® ¯ @MyMetronet.NET ® ....
