Freeper SunkenCiv used to regularly post fascinating and learned articles on archeologicy and history topics. But no posts from SunkenCiv that I can remember for many months. Does anyone here know what happened?
Get your butt back here and get to work.
Everyone misses you and your GGG posts.
That was suppose to go to SunkenCiv.
Good to see ya, Sunk. Your unique input has been missed around here.
I never commented much on your threads, but I read every one I came across. I have interests similar to yours, and spend a lot of my time online reading up on such subjects.
Great to see you back.
Goddammit! You’re back! I was just starting to enjoy the quiet....
:)
Now I know what you’ve been through, uh, once or twice yourself. ;)
Yeah, I ‘see’ Quix once in a while on another forum. Thanks for the welcome. This came about because some kind FReeper posted a link to this topic over on my tiny little forum. I was on there because I had something to do with the new machine (I’m still running most of the time on this 21 year old museum piece from a really underfunded museum) and the new machine had d/led some updates and had me reboot a couple days ago. I relogged on and got tired of looking at the “any minute now” screens. I shudder to think what kind of “updates” are involved.
Oh no... I wonder what my “pings” screen is going to look like after a year of neglect...
An argument with mods regarding so-called “spamming” of keywords, as I recall.
Glad to see that you’re still kicking.
Missed your posts.
Stay well.
Welcome back.

There comes a point in every hardware’s life where it’s really past the time to put any new/updated s/w on it.
Software and hardware are largely written for each other over a span of a few years (software can easily overload any hardware).
I have some of sets of hardware/software from various periods from about 1992. When properly paired, they still work great, but most peeps would relegate them to (low rent) museum status.
Thanks!
Thanks!
I like the hardware, don’t like the new stuff which revolves around reducing user input and increasing push content and ecosystems.
Plus, wow, the prices on the Mac stuff (sorry fellow Apple users). I’ve got a free MacBook in the other room that I plan to upgrade for mem, SSD, and battery — then upgrade to one of the Intel Mac Linux flavors, just to make it convenient to use online and with modern ware.
Meanwhile, I’ve been very satisfied with the dirt-cheap Asus laptop I use for online bill pay and banking and whatever else. Probably my next new computer will be a Raspberry Pi or one of those windows sticks, plugged into the big flat screen TV.
I hope you had enough time to at least shave and shower before you started posting again............
Welcome back!
Welcome back, amigo.
Many that are not banned are under a “soft ban” no access to freepmail and all posts reviewed
What, shave *and* shower?!? ;^)
Thanks for the welcome back!
:^) Thanks!
:^) Thanks! Y’know, there’s almost nothing real in the Google search results for the Ontel Amigo, I think it was a CP/M box, early 1980s, I remember the ads, and I think JS&A Products that Think, or maybe DAK, later liquidated the inventory of it...

Perhaps, in the sense that Somalian pirates have an argument with multinational mercs.
