And this is the guy I’m supposed to Christmas shop for? So far on this hunt I have pointed to pictures in catalogs and pointed to radios in stores and asked questions of store personnel(real mem don’t ask questions, but it’s at least somewhat o.k. for their other half to do it as long as the guy looks as if he’s never seen you before in his life) as to where an OFR might be found, all to no avail. All I get is “humph” that’s not it and he tromps off mumbling.

Some nice person has sent him a coment about Grundig portable radios so guess he has checked that out and beaten me out of another idea of something to get him for Christmas.

It isn’t always easy living with the Inkmuser. He is a computer Wiz Kid while I, on the other hand, have just recently accepted that life will never go back to yellow pads, pilot point pens and typewriters. He can check out a dozen web sites in the time it takes me to find the correct glasses for the computer, turn it on and manage to get to the web icon. Usually, I make no effort to buy him anything that requires electricity to operate but when this OFR thing started, I thought, this would be a great idea. Back in the days when dinasaurs roamed the earth I was actually the manager of the electrics department in a store and knew something about radios, at least, the kind he was looking for so thought this one would work out without a hitch. Wrong again, in addition to not being able to find any in regular stores, I also didn’t think about looking on the web( not yet in my programming) so, once again, I am behind9see the previous commentabout fudge on a earlier page) . Maybe I’ll just get him a book, he does still read real paper and hardboard books when he’s not reading one that he’s got loaded on his PDA.

This is the dinosaur signing off.

Just got two terrific portable radios from Grundig. One has a windup generator, in addition to batteries. Google Grundig. Best Dakota
