Help pls - Solar Powered 2-way family radio treehouse project

A good starting point would be with a packaged wireless intercom system, example from radio shack

You could add to that a small solar cell power source that could provide the 6 volts needed and be in business.

With solar panels I think I'd have to have a rechargable battery to store the charge if the sun was not out.

Who put you in charge? I always top post. Why should I have to scroll through lines and lines of text I've already read to get to the subject of the message.

Yeah! The perennial top/bottom post argument is alive and well.

Post where you damn well please and don't worry about what others think. It makes sense to bottom post when a message travels from the hinterlands of Usenet to the server that gave you a message and the answer still may come before the question to a part of the world. So top posting threatens logical progression - and not everyone uses a newsreader that organizes information well.

Some folks are just so comfortable and secure with ritual and rote that the mere idea that there are people who think outside the box - seems to threaten their very existence.

You want to top post? That's OK.

What's needed here is a program that causes a news reader to automatically scroll to the bottom when a post is opened! Oh! I like that idea, even if I did think of it myself. ;-) Please start with Outlook Express. Mike

Good point. I wonder that newsreaders don't allow a choice. The header does have the time a message is posted.

When replying to a newsgroup message, Outlook Express puts the cursor at the top of the quoted message, so that the user may easily place his reply at the top of the reply.

In contrast, Forte Agent places the cursor at the top of the quoted message so that the user can easily read through the message, deleting unwanted material and inserting his comments where appropriate.
