Ohhhh nooooooo I don't forget. In 1991, PC's and MS-DOS computers were way
over my head. "Way too complex and obscure". Five years later, I am a master
across the wide gamut of personal computing. I rose to the challenge, kind
of based on how I was treated by people who "knew" all the answers but
wouldn't share them with me. So I went it alone....and conquered.
If I could do that, then most people could at least formulate the questions
on how to adapt a mod for one scanner to another. But no..... most of what
comes out it...."how can I liberate cellular in my Snakebite XR7751........."
I know all too well what it's like to buck not knowing. But that's not the
matter. It's the asking of questions.......
