Don'tcha miss the sound of the modem dialup? I didn't get online until 1995, AOL was big and I was deep into it for several years. Before that, I experimented with local BBS systems, but was underwhelmed with their utility. As early as 1984 I knew people who were fiddling with networking their Commodore computers. At the time, I didn't catch the fever.
I am happy never to hear that nails-on-a-chalkboard sound ever again.

    I had a Commodore 64. Almost had to be a programmer to use it.

    On a sadder note, police just came to my door to inform me of my oldest son's death today. Was expected at some point but still makes me sad. Hard to lose your firstborn.

    Back to regularly scheduled stocking up.

    I also suspect that a few people probably like to hit that icon simply because they just like rainbows.

    Thanks. Now, everytime I see the optimistic button, I'll be picturing someone puking rainbows lol!

    Rose Im saddened to hear of the death of your son even if you felt it was inevitable for whatever reasons it’s still a huge loss. My heart goes out to you and your family.

    Someone here suggested looking at this squonker. I wanted a squanker with TC and was choking on the prices. I took a chance, ordered 3 for $60, free shipping and a coupon code (which I've misplaced, see previous post).

    They arrived very fast, a few days. I've only had a few hours with one of them. The manual is so small I had to photograph the pages and view on the screen. Took a while to figure out how to reduce the TC watts from 50 to my customary 25. So far it appears the mod in TC mode with settings the same as other mods is providing the same vaper production. There may be a firmware upgrade available, haven't looked for that. OEM replacement bottle are available from FT. This mod squonks better than my Pico Squeeze and may be less prone to leaking. It's noticably bigger than the Pico form factor I prefer but I'm getting larger battery and TC. The texture of the box is good enough that I don't feel the need for a silicone sleve. I expect it to be more of a pain to pocket. For the stash, for the money, I'm glad to have them so far. P.S. I'm not a fan of magnatized battery doors because sooner or later they stop working. II expect to eventually need some kind of closing or latching technique to replace the magnets.

    The atomizer is worth mentioning, small, available from FT for $4.75. Worth using, wish it came in black.
