But of which there is still being used software which employs it
Usually (always?) in GUI-land on a terminal restricted to that
enviroment. I believe I am one of the few not using or depending on a
GUI and thus am far less restricted since the total space of the
monitor is available to whatever apps I use, in this case vim (aka
vi).
I'm sure it looks more impressive on your end of things
Hard for either of us to say for sure. Most people around here are intimidated by everything they see, both on the monitor(s) as well as
by the infrastructure.
However at least a few of them appreciate the
way the one machine treats their so-called smart devices and gives
them access to whatever it is they find so interesting in the outside world over the wireless connection. For them, all is not lost.
Being as you are the local Wizard
Access is appreciated greatly, I'm sure

I get the impression that they think of me as more of a mad scientist
with more emphasis on the madness than the science.
Access is appreciated greatly, I'm sure
For sure. Without me it would be very expensive and probably not any better as for speed, not that they really care about speed. The cost
is their primary concern as everyone out here isn't what anyone would
call finacially well off.
Anyhow as shown below the new real time clock seems to be working.
I've got it up to the second (and better) accuracy to at least one of
the well connected machines so I am happy thus far. We'll see in a
week or two what the drift looks like. So far it looks to be an
excellent idea.
