Hi All!  Haven't used FidoNet in over 10 years!   Amazing someone is still 
posting the Code FAQ!  Just wanted to say I miss writing BASIC code with you 
all.  Hey and my first post in years is off-topic!   I remember Pat Pridgen 
from the Small Business Admin BBS ...wrote a cute tagline program I 
think...wish they made those for Outlook!

Still think coffee_klatsch needs a topic.  :)

And for on-topic, I wrote a program just the other day in QB to calculate 
Fresnel zone for determining line-of-sight radius when setting up a last-mile 
wireless network.  QB is still useful! 


PRINT "Fresnel Zone Calculator"
PRINT "By Aaron Tucker"
PRINT
INPUT "Distance (in miles): ", dist
INPUT "Frequenzy (in Ghz): ", freq
R = 43.3 * (SQR(dist / (4 * freq)))
PRINT "Fresnel Zone: "; R; : PRINT "feet."


Silly huh?  I could do it on a calculator, but I had the urge to hit QB!

Back in the old days I was:  1:19/102  Teri's Cafe - Maximus BBS - Brownwood,

Now it's some evil web thing!  Eek!
