My uncle who's in his eightys just discovered email and he's totally thrilled by it! Right now, he's just got Juno, but he'll be signed on to a real internet server soon. I wanted to introduce him to some of the fun stuff before he gets into endless web pages and all that. I've only done the odd christmas tree or birthday cake in ascii-- can anybody do a ham shack with antenna and signal for him? He's an avid ham radio buff. I'm going to go try it myself, but if someone is better at it than my poor efforts, I'd really appreciate being able to send him this! a Juno screen is about 15 or so lines high, if that helps. Thanks muchly, Susan.
