I think Microsoft (or someone) as soon as they saw an Internet connection likely began uploading and downloading tons of stuff. Software vendors seem to think that they can just take control of your computer and do as they damn well please.Falconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07466858757398776500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-76002528274736013492016-07-04T20:02:10.103-04:002016-07-04T20:02:10.103-04:00Truly above and beyond, Falcon.

Ouch! on the data plan - I wish there were a way for us to chip in to a "data overage" fund.Carolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15971759975067250908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-28268449339829730522016-07-03T23:56:43.529-04:002016-07-03T23:56:43.529-04:00Apologies for the erroneous link.

It has now been corrected.<br /><br />I'm not sure what went wrong but I did have to make numerous attempts to post the puzzle before I was successful. An operation that usually takes less than 10 minutes took nearly two hours -- and used up my entire data plan for the month!Falconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07466858757398776500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-53872455235830827392016-07-02T22:14:29.169-04:002016-07-02T22:14:29.169-04:00I had the same experience with the earlier puzzle ...I had the same experience with the earlier puzzle :) I'd been quite fond of that grid's FOREST RANGER, and it was encountering him again that triggered my "Waaaait a minute...."Carolanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-40110465536547921672016-07-02T22:04:52.503-04:002016-07-02T22:04:52.503-04:00Hello, all,

Like Peter and Henry, I found this one very much on the easy side but still with some pleasurable cluing.Carolanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-81064501495061378002016-07-02T13:35:52.954-04:002016-07-02T13:35:52.954-04:00Hi Falcon,
Thanks for your dedication in the face ...Hi Falcon,<br />Thanks for your dedication in the face of the remote technology challenges. I wanted to mention the "today's puzzle from Cox and Rathvon" link seems to go to an older (May 28th puzzle. This is my usual method of accessing the puzzle and I was feeling quite smug in how easily the answers came until my conscious memory caught up with the subliminal remembrances and I realized I had done this puzzle before. I'll print out the posted image instead this week and see if I can solve it as rapidly. Just something to correct for future. Thanks for all you do!bpartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03788645547520473873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-85635638368486468962016-07-02T12:21:32.468-04:002016-07-02T12:21:32.468-04:00It must be a long weekend - just after noon on Sat...It must be a long weekend - just after noon on Saturday, and only Peter and I have come in to comment. The puzzle today offers little resistance to most of us. I guess E&H are taking it easy with us for the holiday. Thanks E&H! And good luck to you on the tech side, Falcon - I was worried last week when we hadn't heard from you for quite a while for last Saturday's opus.<br />HenryHenryhttp://henryjablonski.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711047707101010297.post-71200437946332456602016-07-02T11:37:43.194-04:002016-07-02T11:37:43.194-04:00Good morning Falcon et al,
