Hey Nev, I wouldn't even consider a plug-in until I was forced to. And considering my age, I do not imagine I'll ever get to that point. But my main reason is, can you imagine such a contraption in traffic around NJ and NYC? How 'bout a 2-hour+ traffic-jam on the Parkway? A 5hr.drive to Upstate NY with a couple layovers for several hours just to recharge? Never. Not I. Never. Murph @71+

Well.....How about a LOTUS bike Yoo Hooo!
Only $US4300.

Gave my Ross away to a colleague who I knew would get more use of it than I. When I am out-and-about, I prefer this wrapped around me or close-by. Dependable. Comfy. Roomy without being a room. Solid. Facilitates my carrying lots of boxy cargo for short and long-ish distances. Encourages roaming.

Nev, that Lotus bicycle is too beautiful to ride. It belongs in a display for the public to admire.

Encourages roaming.

But not on single track trails.

What a wonderful contrast betwixt our two environments, Wayne, for us to, literally, as the Cajuns are fond of saying, Laissez les bon temps roulez!

I lived half of my life in Ohio and Kentucky and the only thing I did NOT like about that area was WINTER.
I have been to 35 states and found things I liked in all of them. I know many of you have been to many more places than I
Where I live now is a small town where the school system thought that if they hired me I could teach the kids something.
When we retired, my wife also taught here, we were often asked where we were going to move to. When we said we were
staying here we were always met with surprise. I had a daughter that retired from the Air Force after @ 28 years. We were
able to visit her at most of her stations. Over a period of time we were in southern Arizona for about 15 weeks. That area
is the only other place I would have gone to live. My wife liked it here so we stayed. I don't regret it.

Off topic like so much.

I have lost my spell checker and can't seem to find where to get it back. I have windows 10. Help. Please!
My spelling is pretty good but it sure helps when a mistake shows and I don't need to proofread everything.
Thamks in advance.

"Thamks". Cute. Makes your point .

Maybe I'm the slow learner - my XP machine died. I needed it for one bit of software that is going to cost me ~$2600 to buy for Win 7 or higher. Sux!

Yes it duz.

Maybe you just need to turn spellcheck back on Roger.

The other thing about Windows 10 is when some things stop functioning, a power shutdown and turn on is required to set things right again.

I don't recall Microsoft telling us the free Windows 10 was a beta version, but it is--full of bugs.

This is a train forum of some sort, right?

What is the guy on the bike doing?
Is that you, Wayne?

Now to see if I can figure out the spell check.
Already tried the restart.
Found what you show above and it indicates it is on.
Let's see if it is working.

Thamks. Apparently not.
Maybe I need to restart. I'll try.
