Hey Nick!
> What are they probing and scanning for?
It`s varied over the last year from internal bleeding to potential
cancerous polyps. The latest scan (ultrasound) showed a polyp on my gall
bladder which will need to be checked out. So far anything they`ve found
has proved to be benign or cauterized in the case of internal bleeding.
No real fix yet and I have to get blood transfusions far too often.
:-(

Whoa! Seems to me that they were recommending UTF-8 adoption further
back than 2019. Not having anything to do with MS products I can only
account for what I`ve heard through the grapevine over the years.
> Does my new tagline sway your decision on that?
Somewhat but I believe my decision is/was based on any dealings
we`ve had over the years.

Somewhere around 1995-ish.

I started using tmux to take care of display issues that I used
to use setserial for. DOS-think based ansi art and the such now works
much better but I haven`t tried setting the terminal`s character set to
cp437 yet and logging onto a regular BBS with it ... yet. I`ll try
yours later once I have a tmux terminal set to a proper DOS-think
configuration.
> The incessant need for fancy emojis, maybe?
That sounds about right.
Life is good,
Maurice
