Of selling my 1998 model NEC video cassette recorder. It is Y2K compliant and can be connected to the stereo system with a cable. But on the other hand maybe I should hold on to it. In fact I have changed my mind now its not for sale, so bad luck.

I'm not sure if I will get some good feedback to post this subject here but I'm planning to visit Las Vegas furniture trade show in Jan.

Is there anyone here has some experience on this show to share with me?

Thanks in advance!

I don't like zindagi, it always gets caught in my teeth.

In the 'old' days, If you had to contact someone, the first line was to actually visit them in-person or write a letter, affix a stamp and mail it. After telephones were invented, you could call them. If they didn't answer, you would have to call again (and maybe again) until they were available to answer the phone.
A generation later, someone invented an answering machine, giving you the ability to leave a recorded message that you hoped they listened to. The bad part of that was listening to a tape playback of 20 messages to get the one that was important. You also had the ability to send a FAX if they had a machine connected to their phone.
Technology changed and email became available. This eliminated the need for mail and FAX messages.
Add cellphones a generation later and communication improved as people carried a phone with them and didn't have to 'wait to get home' to listen to messages. Shortly after that, text messages became a strong part of cellular service. Instead of calling or sending an email, you could type out a message for instant delivery. Icing on the cake added photos to your texting.
That gave rise to several applications to handle texting including Whatsapp that allows for group texting and video chats. Competition is Signal app doing nearly the same thing but it's private so the information in the app isn't visible on the phone.

Where am I going with this?
I'm communicating with lots of customers, suppliers, coworkers who are all on different platforms. When I have to research 'who said what' or where a link or photo is, I'm checking through different locations. Lost time searching for details, drawings and messages. I dislike Gmail but it synchronizes on all my devices so I'm forged to use that as my main means of communication.
The office uses Streak for sales and marketing, Asana for managing the projects from start to finish and Quickbooks to track the money... that's more than I want to deal with.
No choice. It's the hand I'm holding right now.

Steve Bannon is in New York court today facing multiple charges that include conspiracy & money laundering for his work with a non-profit 'Build the Wall' that raised $25 million to build a wall on the Southern US border.
I clicked one of the links that describes construction will be on privately owned land and work started without a permit.

Sounds like an interesting event and I've got to say that Steve is a busy guy!

The blogs on CS are programmed so that any member can comment to their blogs at any time and bring them to the top of the page. If you comment to each of ten old blogs, all ten will float to page one. Current discussion in the blogs is about limited exposure to reduce the number of blogs a member can display. As a newbie to CS, I thought it was odd to the amount of self promotion that goes on here. People have the ability to bump their dead blogs and bring them to the top of the page.

That didn't happen on the site I was previously associated with. No matter how many comments you added, each blog would slowly drift away...
It was only when another member commended that would bring your blog to the top.

(side note, this was one of the reasons members created sockpuppets so they can intentionally bump their own blogs)

I asked CS administration if they would consider a format change to stop self promotion and their reply was no.

Their response didn't surprise me as it's expensive to implement website changes. I'm thinking status quo should someone actually contact administration requesting a change.
