18:49 K5AVF-ALEX: Yip. I think Windows 2000 was my favorite out of all.

18:49 K5AVF-ALEX: I am completely off Microsoft now. Debian 13 came out a few months ago. I am looking at the upgrade.

18:53: *** KO5SIE is now online ***

18:53 KO5SIE-OSSIE: Hello everyone

18:53 GW8SZL-DAVE: Trixie. It has a weird bug when using S

18:53 K5AVF-ALEX: Add me to the list would you Declan?

18:54 KO5SIE-OSSIE: of thw Windows OS's .. I actually think Windows 7 on client and Windows 2012 on the server 

18:54 GW8SZL-DAVE: Try again. Trixie has a few bugs especially when running a mail server. They might have fixed that now though

18:55 K5AVF-ALEX: OK, didn't know that Dave. Maybe wait a while and let them get things fixed. Debian 12 has been solid for me for a while now.

18:56 KO5SIE-OSSIE: but I don't use them personally : ) been on Linux since RedHat 5.0 (way back in 1997) and macOS since Lepord. I was a big fan of CENTOS in it's day. I too like Debian now.

18:57 GW8SZL-DAVE: It's to do with authentication on the mail server side

18:57 KO5SIE-OSSIE: incase you did not hear me in there Declan.. KO5SIE is here and you can put me at the bottom.

18:58: *** W3ETB is now online ***

19:19 W3ETB-EDDIE T: Well, Dave you were probably a good boy and didn't get any.

19:19 GW8SZL-DAVE: We had a coal cellar outside Eddie when I was 6 years old.

19:20 GW8SZL-DAVE: Time dilation Declan

19:22 W3ETB-EDDIE T: I don't remember my Aunt burning coal. But I do remember she had and actual ice box. One of my cousins in TN married the Iceman who delivered the ice. What a romance hey.

19:24 GW8SZL-DAVE: I remember the old coal fire and then we started using anthracite in it Eddie

19:25 W3ETB-EDDIE T: What is the difference between the two Dave?

19:25 KI5TAQ-TIMOTHY G: Please check in Ki5taq

19:33: *** N5KBD is now offline ***

19:34 W3ETB-EDDIE T: To continue, the farmhouse had a hand pump in the kitchen for water, a wood cook stove, and an outhouse.

19:34 GW8SZL-DAVE: We had a twin tub washing machine

19:35 W3ETB-EDDIE T: And by the way it was exactly 1 mile to the bus stop. Was glad to leave that place.

19:35 KO5SIE-OSSIE: I am just old enough to remember "the old house" in my family.. no running water, outhouse, wood cook stove

19:35 GW8SZL-DAVE: Kept you fit for sure.

19:36 W3ETB-EDDIE T: Gee, Dave we are really showing our age. :-)

19:36 KO5SIE-OSSIE: never lived that way.. but was neat memory going there with my uncle who was raised in it would take me there as a hunting home 

19:38 GW8SZL-DAVE: I remember my mothers parents farm in Ireland. Oil lamps, no running water. They had to walk three miles up the mountain to a spring to get their water.
