Hi Mike,

Yes, that is quite true: lately I probably spend more time in front of the computer, than I do in front of the rig. I keep telling myself that it's merely a phase I'm going through, but on-the-air QSOs just don't seem like what they used to be. 

Seem to be more challenging & interesting encounters & people on-line, than on-the-air, of late.
