well, sorry - but the 'big masses' washing in through this
google-usenet-interface makes me think that the neverending September is
coming back.

I don't know much about computers or the
internet or usenet or anything else in cyberspace, and I suppose it
shows.

no, not really. :-)
most of the internet/usenet users care next to nothing about what they
use or what they do. This compares to a pilot who jumpes on a plane
without checklist and turns on every knob and kicks every switch without
knowing what he does.
It isn't really that hard to read up the basics, and it doesn't take
much time, too.

I enjoy the give-and-take of the discussions and only if
someone persists in posting erroneous information do I lose my
patience. You give me no slack at all.
      And Google is what I use for the groups. I understand that there
are others who use newsreaders or email-based stuff, but that's all I
know.

using usenet through a webbased frontend is the second best way to
access the groups.

I prefer the text base *stuff* as it is less likely to contain
termites. It's the same reason my e-mail reader is "text only" as HTML
e-mail can be  dangerous.



I'm a 54-year-old Commercial Pilot/Instructor/Aviation College
teacher and aircraft mechanic, not a keyboard whiz.

I was only slightly younger than that when I graduated from College
and started a new career( quit work and went back to college full time
at age 47 ). I did teach in college as a GA, but a good job offer came
along which ended my attempt at a masters in CS.



well then, welcome to usenet. <bg> The climate is sometimes cold.

Cold, hot, and sometimes...even in between.



There are other
things to do that become a digital whiz, like building and flying
airpl;anes and boats and old trucks.

Do 'em all. <:-))



hmm.

You know, the *real* world out
there.

you're sure?

Now retired, having worked as  a project manager installing large
networked computer systems, a developmental analyst, and sys admin
with a degree in computer science (earned at age 50) in my last
incarnation I'd say the link shows reality for a fair number in the
profession.

 OTOH I fly (http://www.rogerhalstead.com/833R/833R_frame.htm and am
instrument rated) , am building a Glasair IIIhttp://www.rogerhalstead.com/G3_files/GIII_Diary.htm, Amateur Radio
Operator (Extra class)http://www.rogerhalstead.com/ham_files/boatanch.htm ;(constructed my
own tower and antenna systemhttp://www.rogerhalstead.com/ham_files/tower.htm) and still do my own
climbing.http://www.rogerhalstead.com/ham_files/Tower29.htmalthough
it takes me a lot longer to get "up there" than it used to. Also a
couple of hours up there is about it compared to spending most of the
day working on a tower.

In a previous life, or it seems like it, I was an instrument
technician for over 26 years and prior to that I farmed until age 21.
At that point I figured there had to be a better way to make a living.

I find, if a person puts their mind to it they can do lots of things
albeit sometimes accompanied by a lack of sleep.
