In these days of multiple phone services, valid phone books were last
published several years ago so 411 gets a lot of exercise. A working
browser is handier than the turn button on the outhouse door. The -p
option wiped out my history replacing it with links to fb etc, which for
security reasons I don't touch with a 30 foot pole. So I'll have to
spend a week restoring that just to regain my daily news sites tour.
And I did find that I'll have to physically visit both of my local food
suppliers. Sigh. They have not instigated a store employee shopping
cart service so one can pay at the door with reduced exposure.
We don't have any KNOWN cases here yet.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
