DoN, I was messing with my now healthy collection of AT&T 7300s and 3b1s, and I thought of you, and all the help you gave me early on starting in 2014, and I wanted to thank you.

Are you still out there? Are you well? Best wishes, and I (and likely others) would love to hear from you here.

Best always,
AJ

You're quite welcome. Glad that they are all working now.

I am still here, but mostly waiting for questions, rather than
posting requests, so when the group is quiet, so am I.

I should keep a 3B1 running, so when one of the scammers call up
to help me with "problems with my Windows machine" (without ever
verifying that I am *using* a Windows machine), I can have more fun
letting them try to talk me into doing something dangerous (on a Windows
machine) to let them in. I'm usually on a Sun Blade 2000, running
Solaris 10, but they do have browsers, so some of the things they try
*might* work there. No chance that it would work on a 3B1, with no
browsers and no "Window flag" key on the keyboard. They have enough
trouble trying to figure out when they ask me to locate the "CTRL" key
in the bottom left hand corner of the keyboard. It is where God
intended to be -- to the left of the 'A' key. :-)

Health is reasonable, given the years I have.

Enjoy,
DoN.

Don, so glad to hear that you are still here, and still monitoring this group. That's fantastic! I'm certain I'll have some new questions coming soon. I plan on starting up a UNIX PC project again here in the next few months.

Best always,
AJ

DoN...just checking in with you. Your name came up on our 3b1 support group, and I just wanted to make sure you were OK.

Best wishes always,
AJ
