Will celebrate Veteran's Day with fellow veterans here in the USA, including with my 96 year-old WWII veteran Dad!  He is still in terrific shape, but battling a malignant throat tumor that is classified as curable.

Happy Veterans day as well.

Don't forget: yesterday was also the Marine Corps birthday. I am still dealing with my decisions from last night.

Hopefully flight sim can help alleviate everything with coffee, water and Immediately crashing to desktop.

Since it is Veteran's Day here I am going to fly with SU11 from Meigs Field to the former Forney AAF at Ft Leonard Wood, Missouri, where I was stationed at the airfield USAF manned weather station and where I first gained my license and ratings via the Army post's flying school.  Will likely fly a modded Bonanza.

I believe that DX actually had 25 MHz. Weren't they 25, 33, 40 MHz? A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... 🙂

I bought my first PC from a local builder in Nor Cal around 1992.  Here are the specs as I recall them, very high end for its day:

  • 33mHz Pentium!
  • 8mb of RAM!
  • 120mb HDD!
  • Diamond Stealth 24 Graphics!  
  • 4x CDrom!
  • 15" Sony color CRT!
  • 5.25" & 3.25" FDD!
  • Windows 3.1!

Price out the door in 1992 uninflated dollars:  ~$2,500!!!!

All the best to your dad. And please tell him from me, that we (as an Irishman and a European) greatly appreciate what he and his fellow soldiers sacrificed for humanity and the world in WWII. It will never be forgotten. I will raise a toast to him tonight, and I mean that.
