I've got an old Dell tower and an official Windows 2000 installation disk.Â* Make me an offer! Dan, 5J Nah, they messed it up and started making the serial port useless with 2000.. I have an ME machine, and it has the port, but doesn't work. I will stick with the old TI Extenza running W98. Steve Leonard |

I have laptops with 98SE, since, it's "more betterer" than just 98.
;-) I loved XP Pro, I deal with 10. As field service, I had 95, 98SE, all service packs (most on thumbdrives) but had some stuff on floppies since I ran into some OS's that didn't support USB (like, Windows NT). |

Steve Leonard Yep, I have a bunch of Model 20s and 25s. And L-Navs and S-Navs, too. And when you whine on RAS about OLC not taking your GPS-NAV files, it's both sad and a source of amusement at the same time. If someone tries to use them for badges/records, I suppose they'd have to find someone who can still handle the calibration. |

I may have a short memory, but I don't recall whining about it on RAS for a while. I am sure you can take the time to find exactly when it was. I think I have discovered the issue I was having, and now have it resolved. Without having to buy something newer that doesn't work as well as the system I currently have. As far as calibration, I think any lab will tell you it is simple. Just like any other logger, for that matter. Steve Leonard |

Steve Leonard Thanks to search engines, it was a July 2017 posting I was remembering: Yeah, I know I should "buy a new logger". But, I fly old sailplanes. :-) Anyone had success uploading a file from a Model 20 and getting a valid score? I am 0 for 3. The first two, I wrote off to too few satellites a couple of times during the flight. Didn't have that issue today, but still a big red V. I am using the same conversion program I used last year, and it says it is making a valid file. It worked fine last year, but doesn't now. Maybe they would like me better if I gave them money? And, please, no "Use Skylines" comments. Suggestions welcome. Steve Leonard Also came across the 2012 thread where OLC stopped accepting GPS-NAV files for a while (not sure how long that lasted), and the 2014 discussion when the date problems started showing up. Since you can record OLC-acceptable files now with a $10 app, it seems to me to be a bit of false economy to stick with the old stuff. To each his own. -Dave |

To each his own. -Dave Knew you could do it. :-) As for "false economy", the phone I have won't run the $10 App, so I would need a different phone. It will also have a more expensive monthly phone plan, too. Keep working on the "false economy" argument if you like... Also, the phone won't interface with my L-Nav, so I still need to keep my "old junk" working to get what I really want, which is integrated variometer and glide computer in the cockpit. OLC is neat and great fun. Especially when something like this happens. https://www.onlinecontest.org/olc-3....=2017&c=C0&sc= There are plenty of cool things to see in the sky. We all need to get out and see more of them. Steve Leonard |

Tough to get rid of antiques (an example outside of soaring: Sidekick 99) if nobody has produced a replacement. Jim I was keeping a couple XP systems around for a different program, outside of soaring. Then one day one of the free anti-virus programs loaded an update that destroyed the systems. Assumed at the time it was M$ pushing a poison pill, but found out later it was AVG or Avast, can't remember which. -Dave |
