Okay, yeah, first, good morning to you Kevin, good morning to everybody participating in the Kowabunga Net on the Dew Truck Inn this Sunday. Yeah I kind of liked it when it was just a day off for style. In fact, I'd like to get the guy that imposed this organization on Sunday. It was alright being open and free. I kind of suspect who probably pushed it to impose structure and rules for Sunday. I don't see them on here. They might be, I don't see them listening. But you know, whatever, I don't want to be in any decision making here because mainly I can't devote the time that was needed in order to be part of the net. So I'll just have to abide by it. I wish there are things when they don't have so many rules attached to them. There was getting a lot of people in here, I'll say that, on Sunday. And I don't know if any of them thought that they weren't getting able to get in there and contribute to a conversation. Because none of the conversations on here are private. If I'm one of the people that's in the conversation, it's always that somebody could get in there and say something. Even change the subject. As far as the question goes today, I have something for that as well. I spent now about $50 on electronics. And this is like news because it's probably something some people aren't aware of. You can buy electronics and read the specifications that the electronics that you're buying in particular are these earbuds. And they'll say stuff to make you believe that they can do things but when you get them, I really can't. The earbuds I bought said that it can connect to multiple devices at the same time. Now I have headphones and I can hook to my PC and mobile. And if I get a call on my mobile, it freezes what's going on in the PC and I can answer the call and I'm going to hang up. If I'm watching a video, it will resume. So what would you think that connecting to multiple devices at the same time would be? I thought that it would work like my headphones but it didn't. So I ended up buying earbuds that are useless to me. I'll end up giving them away. So I bought another pair. The ones that are coming today are supposed to connect to multiple devices simultaneously. So we'll see if it really does that when they get here. Now they were priced in the $80 to $100 range but I did find some that were lower so I'll only end up spending $40 and end up with an extra set of earbuds and I didn't have to spend $80 to get one of higher quality because I didn't mind the sound. I just wanted that one feature. So I still saved money in some aspect but I was still kind of misled there. So what's the news? You can be misled. So they can sell you that. And then it's always a pain in the neck to have to send it back. I'm not going to do that. I'll keep it for a gift for somebody. This is Ron, AA4HO, Miramar, Florida. Back to Kevin in neck control. Okay, before we hand it to Peter, just to repeat the question again. What is the most impactful tech news you've encountered recently? That kind of came up. It was funny because in my settings what happened was it was asking me about something totally different so I rephrased it to what I wanted. It was asking me about the SACNO Kings because I was last having a long conversation with the chat GBT about it. It was asking me something to the effect of... I can't imagine you'd want to answer it but I'll tell you what it originally said before I changed it to what you're answering now. And I have an answer for that that I'll deliver too. It was something like what did the SACNO Kings ever do that was impactful ever. I can't imagine somebody's going to want to know. They have a history of getting their butts handed to them and then they sort of make up from that and then they get knocked down again and then they make up from that and get knocked down again. They redeem themselves and they get knocked down again. It makes you dizzy. And I like all the innovative new stuff they're doing like with chat GBT. That might have been my sort of tech news thing that I would have answered. And it's just available everywhere. People using it to forge prescriptions or actually that would be nice. They're using it for medical advice because especially now in Ontario it's impossible to get a doctor. There's no way. So now people are using machines. As far as wanting the Sunday free form where we school around, might I encourage people to just get on on other times. I try to get on in the afternoons when there's plenty of dead air time and no one comes on. Because in between the West Coast net that they have on in the middle of the day you have plenty of space to get on and talk. So I do that all the time and I never really hear from anybody. Pretty much every day this week I kind of strategically time it. So for instance one instance would be like sometime during the one o'clock hour. It's always interesting to see who's here and not at the Alaskan net. Because at the Alaskan net they can go to blazes. So it's amazing to kind of see who's around during then. Once in a while I'll get someone that answers. Most of the time it's just crickets. And then I'll try sometimes through the two o'clock hour. I'm not just going to call every minute. So I strategically time it to make myself seem like a beacon. And then I get out of the way around three for the West Coast. Four, if I'm still even around, if I'm still near the equipment, sometimes I'm not, I'll get on and call again. And then there's all kind of times in between the five, six and seven. See I'm telling you times that you can get on and screw around. Get on and swear, who's going to know? And I'm joking. But you could do a lot of stuff. You could really do a lot of stuff. Sometimes there's open mics by mistake. Which I guess if nobody hears them then that's what you would want. Open mic that nobody hears. Yeah, like for instance, today I know that they'll be busy, they'll be the, oh the, who the hell are they? Radio Canada guys. The Radio Canada guys will be on in the afternoon here. So then I kind of stay out of the way for that. I mean there's a lot of them, right? And so it's quite a lot of people to have in my living room. So I usually stand by for that and then I usually start calling when they get quiet. Usually they will eventually. So consider the other times on do drop in. I know there's those of you that like the morning, but there's those of you that want to wake up first and there's plenty of chances to do that. And then who knows if it's like, well it's stupid Kevin calling, that's not an incentive. I'll get on there, talk, drown me out. You know how it goes. If it starts getting too complicated I chase away. So you have some tricks on your sleeve too. Use them, they're radio tricks. You know how it is when you don't really like someone too much. You can kind of gang around them so that they become really, really, really small. No worries, no worries on that. So consider the other times on do drop in. Peter what's happening with you?
