Title: ADD your location under your AVATAR - please
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on March 04, 2020, 04:45:14 PM
We'll never remember where you are posting from …...but if you go to your forum PROFILE, you'll see a box that reads : "Personal Text"

Just type in your general location....state - and country if not in USA. A glance at that will give us some helpful information when you post here.

Thanks
Stig

"There's always one", said the Sergeant.

Please go outside and ask a neighbor, "Is this Kansas, or Minnesota?"

Report back....

Reporting back- I've got two homes summer in Minnesota and the rest of the year in Kansas.  Some of my Scooters are licensed in Minnesota and others in Kansas. 

I guess you would be really confused if I purchase another home in Florida?

Heck I wouldn't be...
MN winter, KS winter or Florida winter...Hmmm tough choice, but I'd understand wanting a home there just in case...

The older I get the less I like extreme temperatures hot or cold.

I could handle the confusion - but I'm afraid you'll be billed for another Forum subscription if you get a 3rd address. Two's the limit.

done!  And while I was in there, I saw some truly ancient messaging systems:
"
This is your ICQ number.

This is your AOL Instant Messenger nickname.

Your MSN messenger email address

This is your Yahoo! Instant Messenger nickname.
"   

LOL.    I am not sure that any of these are around to any extent anymore!  I suspect AOL is gone, YIM is gone,  ICQ has twisted and turned through the years.

Speaking of old technology I found my old analogy  Mitsubishi bag phone in the closet the other day. My smart digital phone is .25 watt of power the old bag phone was 4 watts.

"Bag phone"?  D'you mean the old 4 kilo lumps with a separate handset connected by the curly lead?   If so, yep, that was my first "mobile" phone!!

Yep, that's the one. It was my first cell phone as well.  With 4 watts it never dropped a call.  And the echo echo echo echo.

I've personally never really had a cell phone, I did have use of a Nextel for a short period, but never really used it, except the walkie talkie feature,  so I have never found need to get one.

I do remember however, my dad, (he retired from telephone) had a "mobile phone" back in the mid/early 60s. a Motorola unit, took up about 3 cubic feet in the trunk of his company car, (I think it mighta had vacuum tubes in it) and the telephone unit on the cars dash, had mechanical buttons that converted to dial pulse, regular looking handset, but had a PTT button on it. Ringer was hooked to the car's horn when he was away from the car.  100 watts iirc, there weren't many repeater towers back then
