    Here we are dealing with cell phone, cable and satelite tv, satelite radio, I remember the very first overseas satelite tv broadcast through "Telstar". The most technical thing my dad had to pur up with was climbing up on the roof or our house to adjust the TV antenna to get the best picture on our black and white (color tv, that was for the rich people).

    Those were the days with the three network channels, one independent and the "kid" network - with .............. crap can't think of the name of the shows... one with the guy who always put a sweater on and talked to a stuffed squirrel (think that's what it was) :eek:

    I know the feeling Jim...helped the missus take care of her parents for 3 years before they passed, then we moved into a 55 and over community and there is always someone with a problem. My nuts are so sore someday, but I think about what I have in my family and friends and it helps ease the pain... prayers going out for John and his family. Even though it is rough sometimes, try to think positive. Ken
