<DIV>My wife asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I said</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"I wanted </DIV>
<DIV>a 10 inch blueberry Ice Cream pie or Jelly Bean </DIV>
<DIV>with a Wifi Raspberry pie and a MicroTik on my pogo with 1 TG Touro
USB 3.0 cloud</DIV>
<DIV>and a cat 6 poe into a Ubiquite's titanium 2M or 5.8
bullet </DIV>
<DIV>into the NW mesh network so I can access the high ring HanWan
link for Internet."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I told her we could get all this for under $400 and she said <STRONG>"What
are you talking about?" </STRONG></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I tried to explain that I was the President of a high tech amateur radio
club and all the guys in the digital committee were doing this. but she
just kept shaking her head.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Is the problem a technological diversion or that I didn't
properly prepare her for this technological jump or timing? I asked
for my Christmas present when my wife was talking her sister in South
Carolina, on her IPad mini with "face time". Her sister retorted
a responds by saying, "<STRONG>I didn't understand a thing he
said</STRONG>. We just got electric lights and in-door plumbing last
year."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Well, it still has been a good Christmas. I'm eating coal
dark chocolate triangles from my stocking as I write this email from my new
Note 3. I still don't have my cloud up.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Daniel Stevens, KL7WM<BR>President FWARC</DIV>
