I just put vBox on my Vista computer and am going to try U'u 10.04 on
it.
Why 10.04? it's the only U'u version already on the hard drive.
Later on I'll get a newer version to play with.

Every time I use the word WITH at the end of a sentence I think about
when I was in the 11th Grade in High School and I asked my English
Teacher if I should never end a sentence using the word with.

That's what I always heard it called in the area where I was raised.

I listened to You just now and You sounded to me as anyone from Your
Area of the world would sound.

I remember a fellow singing a song that said something about
Tan my hide when I died clyde, and something about tieing a Kangeroo.

and there was that fellow (RIP) who loved animals I've seen on
Cable Television when I was visiting someone who had their TV set on the
Animal Planet station.

A long time ago as I was driving through the US State of UTAH and while
talking to someone on my Ham Radio another local Amateur Radio Operator
came into the conversation and Challenged Me as to if I really had a
valid Amateur Radio License because the Number in my Callsign was for
the Midwest Region but My Accent sounded to him like I was from the
Southern part of the USA.

I told him I was Born in Kentucky (which has a different Region Number)
but I now lived in Indiana just across the Ohio River from Kentucky, and
Indiana is the southern part of the Region my callsign number indicates.

And I told the fellow I've been licensed since 1958 and if he wanted me
to sound off the Alphabet Backwards in Morse Code on my microphone over
the air I would be glad to do it.

I think I started saying DAH DAH DIT DIT   DAH DIT DAH DAH
DAH DIT DIT DAH   on my mike to let the guy know I knew the letters
Z Y and X in morse code.

Another local HAM came on the air and told me not to worry about the
fellow who challenged me, because he did that all the time to other
travelers.

Did I put a Smile on Your Face Paul?
