I'm not a micro$oft basher, but they screwed up big, this time.

Indeed.

We have no plans in our business for "upgrading" to Vista; not for customers'
machines, technicians' laptops or our own office workstations. We'll buy XP
Pro refurbs if we have to for as long as we can.

This will be a real test of Microsoft's power. It might be just the boost
Linux needs to go mainstream in a big way.

And you know Apple loves it.

Chuckle Yep!

One thing my sister in law says, is "they tried to make Vista look like the
Apple OS's. If I had wanted that, I would have gotten a Mac!"

I've never had a problem with the Jepp program.

As an active IFR pilot who uses Jepp's Flightstar to file just about all of
my IFR plans over the last four years, I have never had an issue of a lost
flight plan filed via Jepp and ultimately CSC/DTC Duats that wasn't my fault
(departure time more than 1/2 hour earlier than the time I call clearance).

Ron,

I never do the time conversion, I use "+0300" (for example) which means
three hours from now.

Hope this helps,

Hilton

Anyone else seen similar behavior? Is it a problem with Voyager, or is
the FAA system screwed up worse than usual?

Can't vouch for Voyager, but I rarely lose a plan filed with the CSC
DUAT. The major issue in losing any plan is:

Wrong P-Time (screw up the local to GMT conversion or whatever)
Point of departure not one that routes to the controller you're
talking to.
