TV was irrelevant: in some circles Lehrer LPs circulated alongside those
by Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger and, for light relief, Flanders & Swann
(remember the Hippopotamus Song?).

I went to college in the USA in the late 60s and early 70s and I had to
look up Lehrer yesterday. Never heard of him. Never thought much of
Dylan, either.

This question was asked about the 2015 Senior Soaring Championships

There is a contest in the early part of March Seniors in Florida approx.. 65 glider

If the new update is out will there be a problem if some have the update and some don't.

Flarm Response:


Yes, you are correct, that would be a problem. Devices with the old firmware cannot communicate with the new firmware. From the next firmware release, we will make sure that the protocol changes automatically at the changeover date. Unfortunately that was not possible for this update.

For this contest, I would recommend that nobody updates their devices until after the contest.

Since this update was scheduled before the last one, and the instruction is very specific, my bet is that on April 1st your unit will display a message like "I am not working" and mean it.

I think a lot of his work was published in the 50's.

Yep. He only put out a few albums but back in the day I'd heard even
fewer of his songs "We Will all go...", The Elements, Masochism Tango was
about it. Recently I got a CD copy of his 'in Concert' album and I must
say the majority of the songs on it are fairly unmemorable: the
aforementioned ones are the standouts. Just goes to show that Woody
Guthrie was a much better song writer though I'm told that many Americans
only know one of his (This Land is Your Land). Can that be true or is it
just a tissue of sex, lies and videotape?
