I hated Dos, you have to spell for that and I can't spell lol, but I had trouble learning windows98, I know it now and have moved on to bigger and better things, namely XP and am now working on my own FTP server and still learning computers. I used to not like the newer radios with all the menus, but after most of my older radios started having problems I decided I'd better give new stuff a shot. It's not so bad anymore. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Humbert" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, January 05, 2005 12:56 PM Subject: Re: programming information chanels on THF6A > Well, that is very encouraging.
