Greg Writes , thank goodness. I need fine examples and his is one. I'm especially pleased to have taken the path to CNN from his August 22 entry on X. ...and just how did he get into that dugout?

Stop the presses - we have arrived! On page 41 of the August issue of Wired magazine: Wired: Morse code Tired: texting Expired: shorthand (Thanks, Steve, KI0KY) -- From the Contester's Rate Sheet (ARRL) of 10 August 2005, edited by Ward Silver N0AX. A quick googling (wired morse code) took me to the premonitive wired/tired title from larry borsato. He's referencing a Times Online article telling of an Australian nonagenerian and his buddy using the code to whip some cell toting whippersnappers in a communications contest. A similar competition was ably staged later on Leno. The morse rally is building. Hurrah!

At the download, the author linked to a required Microsoft file: evb.mspx (?). That link was broken, but I was directed to msvbppc.armv4.cab, which I downloaded. I hope this works in place of eVB dot whatever. The "future" does not seem bright for eVB if this Microsoft chat was on track. Native Code Application Development for Windows Embedded Platforms. Posted March 4, 2003 Chat Date: February 5, 2003 From Host Zoran Galovic, Embedded MVP Q: Have any decision been made concerning the future of eVB, of any? [sic X 2] A: eVB is going to disappear. Everything is moving towards VB .NET and eVC is an interim solution. I'll install the two files in a couple of days.
