Random Thought Thread

Colossus - The Forbin Project.
The computer that is Colossus is a Versatile Avionics Shop Test (VAST) bench; built in the sixties, it was used to troubleshoot, repair, and return to service avionics for Grumman (mostly) aircraft: F-14, A-6, A-7, S-3, E-2...

I worked on it's descendant, the so-called Mini-VAST. But I did do some work on the VAST stations and repaired sub-components of it.

I guess too many people are busy celebrating the holiday weekend. I would kill for some good barbecue right now!

Well, if anyone should mysteriously die at a barbecue this weekend, the authorities now have a viable suspect.

This brings me to my random thought. Would John Edward have to defend you?

Okay....so I'm having bad luck with with my HTC phones...

As I mentioned before, my HTC M8 croaked. Now the screen on my old HTC M7, bowed, and is trying to pop off. The phone is still working, but now I have tapped the sides of the phone with tape.

Now I'm starting to seriously question the quality of HTC devices.

My friend from work, as I mentioned, has recommended to me that that I get a Nexus 6.

So, here's what I am considering....

Purchase the Nexus 6 on the Sprint Easy Pay program, (if it gets repaired by HTC) keep the repaired HTC M8 as my backup phone, and get rid of the HTC M7.

The other option would be to simply keep using my HTC M7 until my HTC M8 comes back from the repair shop, and the simply switch back to my HTC M8.

So my questions for discussion are this...

What do you all think about the Nexus 6?

Do you you all think that the Nexus 6 is a good upgrade or replacement for the HTC M8?

Do you you all think that the Nexus 6 is a good upgrade or replacement for the HTC M8?

Let me know your thoughts.
