My wife asked me what I wanted for Christmas and I said
"I wanted
a 10 inch blueberry Ice Cream pie or Jelly Bean
with a Wifi Raspberry pie and a MicroTik on my pogo with 1 TG Touro USB
3.0 cloud
and a cat 6 poe into a Ubiquite's titanium 2M or 5.8 bullet
into the NW mesh network so I can access the high ring HanWan link for
Internet."
I told her we could get all this for under $400 and she said "What are you
talking about?"
I tried to explain that I was the President of a high tech amateur radio
club and all the guys in the digital committee were doing this. but she just
kept shaking her head.
Is the problem a technological diversion or that I didn't properly prepare
her for this technological jump or timing? I asked for my Christmas
present when my wife was talking her sister in South Carolina, on her IPad mini
with "face time". Her sister retorted a responds by saying, "I didn't
understand a thing he said. We just got electric lights and in-door plumbing
last year."
Well, it still has been a good Christmas. I'm eating coal dark chocolate
triangles from my stocking as I write this email from my new Note 3. I
still don't have my cloud up.
Daniel Stevens, KL7WM
President FWARC
