to all;


I have been copying the mail here about every day but I haven't turned on my 
THF6A  for at least 6 months.  Getting the general ticket was pretty easy 
and fun but I just don't like modern technology that requires the ability to 
memorize a million different buttons on my TV remote, cable box remote, vcr 
box, and especially my ht.  I haven't yet but I'm sure still tempted to 
trade it for a dummy proof cb.  Damn it's difficult getting old, lazy, and 
stupid
