Hi, Anyone on here using Charter Telephone VOIP service? I've currently got Verizon, but the wife hates it because our phone lines get flaky all the time, esp when it rains. So I'm thinking to save money and combine all my stuff onto Charter. I've already got High Speed internet and regular old cable. Not wild about Digital Cable since I'm happy with Tivo and I don't want yet another set top box to have to deal with... So, any horror stories about Charter Phone VOIP quality and service? Thanks, John

Next Meeting Topic: ZFS on linux?

by Tim Keller

Hey Gang, Would people find it interesting in doing either a ZFS centric meeting, or doing a compare/contrast Linux file system bonanza? Thanks, Tim. -- I am leery of the allegiances of any politician who refers to their constituents as "consumers".

Re: [Wlug] Great Meeting last night! Thanks Frank and Jeff!

by Jamie Guinan

Agreed, great meeting. I learned several things from Frank's talk, I had no idea about the "hot plate" and temperature issues. And it was cool to see Jeff's machine in action, despite the hiccups. I should go to more meetings. #sophisticatedcat -Jamie On Fri, 15 May 2015, Tim Keller wrote: > Hey Everybody, > > Last nights meeting was great.

Contacts-Address Books

by The Hammer

Hello Everyone, Since it's been quite here on the e-list, I figured I'd ask a non-technical question? Can anyone recommend a good contact/address book program for off line use? One that has a good export/back up function (preferably backing up as text) I've google searched it, and did not get far with that. Ron
