Try telling that to a 20-year-old who thinks he knows everything.  :mad:

Damned, how well I know that!  :mad: :yes:  In fact, as of late that age seems to have increased by a decade or so. . . I've reached  a decision that I am determined to stand by fro this point forward; let them make their mistakes and learn their lessons. It is far less stressful than trying to provide them the advice that comes with experience and age, and helps one avoid the wrath of the unenlightened.

A painful choice, I know; but at this point in my lifespan it provides me with "diplomatic immunity" surrounding the impending compounding of those mistakes that I can see coming. . . And an opportunity to invoke the "I tried to tell you" salt to apply to the gaping wound(S). (Which I will mercifully avoid at all costs simply because it involves loved ones).  :mad: :rolleyes:

Pulled it up on my phone at work today, and the ISS to dart coms were active. It blew my colleagues away, and they wanted the link too.  :biggrin:

Excellent.  I never tried it on my phone.  Are you still using the iPhone?

Much better on the computer than the phone.  I need to show my co-workers this; you never know when a patron might need this type of information at the library!   ;D

Kind of "funky" compared to a tablet or laptop, but it still displays once you figure it out and it loads. . .(best with WiFi)

Yeah, with two streams on the same page, I'd imagine it would eat some data out of your data plan pretty damn quick.
