This was an old link that I wrote you about. I haven’t responded to todays ping yet but knew we had been on these before.

There were a few good movies on this -

One was fairly recent - and very accurate -

[potlatch]

Windwalkers or windtalkers, something like that? I saw threads about it when I looked for the old one.
Had trouble rebooting my computer!!

.

The last code-talker movie ended up with one survivor standing at the edge of a canyon cliff with the small son of another that had died fighting off Japanese soldiers

You can always pick up a vintage WebTV as a backup!

I have a memory of us discussing it long ago, but also remember talking about the Civil War movie about the Black Soldiers, Buffalo Soldiers. It was a good one.

I have my laptop but hate typing on it, lol. Flat surface.

My backup keyboard for an “Ultimate TV” from MSFT - has a larger wieless keyboard - easier to use - only 2 batteries

But many of my FAVS keys and other SHORTCUTS keys are not on it

“M” said my keyboard was hard to use after a PC - but my hands are much larger and I have no problems typing on it

I was a Buffalo Soldier in Viet Nam from 67-69...

“The Eyes and Ears” of the 4th Division...

a proud history..

“Our precious and sacred Navajo language was bestowed upon us, not a nation, but a holy people. Our language is older than the Constitution of the United States. I'm proud that, at this point in American History, our native language and the code will developed came to the aid of our country, saving American lives and helping the other U.S. armed forces ultimately to defeat the enemies.

My regular computer keyboard buttons are separated. My fingernails are long and I don't have trouble on it. On the laptop with no spaces it seems to be harder to type. I could see it being easier with just the pads of my fingers.

Wow, a proud history indeed M-cubed! Thank you for your service!

If you have never seen the old Civil War movie about the Buffalo Soldiers, I urge you to look for it. It made an impression on me.

Thanks for writing!

Long fingernails?

I type pretty well on the RCA WebTV Plus wireless keyboard

Wait until the voice input typing stuff gets more affordable:

"PARAGRAPH"
"ITALICS"
"CAP"
"LOWER CASE"


It was a dark and stormy night.

[potlatch]

I don’t know if I would like a voice activated keyboard, seems like it would be much slower than regular typing. Don’t you think?

[It was a dark and stormy night.]
I recall that story many moons ago. The original was so very funny, lol.

[devolve]

.

Might be awkward on audio typing

.

LOL!

“It was a....”

“Call me Barack....”

“Call me Barry....”

“Call my Barack....”

[potlatch]

Lol, well Obama wasn’t in the ‘dark and stormy night’ story but I get your gist - I think.

It would help cut down on the profanity if the people had children in the house. Unless the kids heard it all the time!
