Here is a question for you. Ever since windows 3.1.1, I have used card file. I have transferred it to win 95, win millenium, win XP. As my p4 with Xp had a hard drive die, Now I must find my backup copy and instal it again. Seeing I have a 32 bit copy of it Can I install it on my windows Vitsa or Win7 64 bit machines? I dont think I can. So if I cant does anyone know of a program that is like cardfile. Now before you call me a luddite I like card file. It was simple and easy. [/quote] Old James |

No you're not a luddite. I too found Cardfile excellent for its ease of use. Try this, as many found it works a charm.: - 64bit Cardfile Edit: forgot to mention - it's runs great in 32 bit as well. |

I'd like to point out that when a Microsoft OS goes out of support, they do not cut off Windows Update access, nor do they pull updates from their servers. I have an Acer and use windows 7, I haven't had a minutes trouble with it in 8 months. :) To me it's perfectly tuned. I'm not changing. And Uli Pluto is a planet in my book too. |

I dont think I can. So if I cant does anyone know of a program that is like cardfile. 64 bit Windows versions support 32 bit apps. Heck, half of microsoft's stuff is still 32 bit. Thats why in 64 bit windows you will have 2 "program files" folders, one of which is "(x86)". But I see Sirius found you a 64 bit version anyways. One issue though I do encounter with older software going through newer OS's, is software meant for pre-XP versions sometimes has .DLL dependencies that have been a real headache. #resist |

Thank you Sirius B and EX. cardfile worked great with my Xp, I was hopimg that somewhere there was 64 bit version around. I will try out the 64 bit version. If it works like i hope it will, I will use it. And retire that old 3.1.1 version. And yes I have used that same cardfile now on 4 consectutive computers. A P1 Packard Bell. P1 gateway, P1 compact. And the still running P4 gateway. Thanks guys. [/quote] Old James |

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-57552225-38/senate-bill-rewrite-lets-feds-read-your-e-mail-without-warrants/?part=rss&subj=news&tag=title Agreed, it's just like using a public mail system, with similar expectations to lack of privacy. As the government doesn't need a warrant to intercept regular mail, why should it need one for email, etc? Right? I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... |

As mentioned over in N/C by Ex (Good idea Dave - think rather than a new board, use politics as it can be a very hot topic), a thread for O/S & Technology discussion. yes the dashboard is annoying it does recognize more new equipment and it did install my raid without a floppy which is good because my last 3 builds did not include one. also it seems less breakable then the previous versions. and let us not forget that bill said that if it works you worked on it to long were is the upgrade in that. as well as it's not the tidal wave we are waiting for it is bill walking out of Seattle bay with a fatal head wound and answers for all the worlds problems that do not work. check revelations i think it's him! |

Thank you Sirius B and EX. cardfile worked great with my Xp, I was hopimg that somewhere there was 64 bit version around. Update, I found my copy of cardfile for win xp. As it was from 2009 I have some updating to do. Also I have downloaded the 64 bit version on my vista machine. It is a lttle differant but still its cardfile. Have a lot of updating on that one. EX, I tried to copy the 32 bit version to my I7 vista and it was a no go. Gave me a message that I had no idea what it meant. I went no further. So Thanks guys. [/quote] Old James |

Ain't technology grand...... Why Sat-Nav should be banned in trucks ......then again, how about banning idiots from holding HGV licenses.... ....too many idiots fail to use what little brain cells they have & technology can't help there.... :) |

Yes the link is rarther obvious! That doesn't mean that all these mishaps are down to foreign drivers. One of our regular drivers on a Gloucester run (had done this run numerous times before) entered Tufley Lane at one end & rather than return the same way, thought he coud save time by exiting the other end..... .....unfortunately, one end is 14', the other 10'6" - height of truck 11'6" - nationality of driver = English. We wound him up for months afterwards, especially as it cost him £1000 for hitting a railway bridge.... ...& the best laugh of all was that behind him was a police patrol car! |

It's rather obvious isn't it? A Polish Driver in a Polish truck. Can't speak English, cant read English road signs, and probably not the brightest biscuit in the barrel either. We all know why these foreign drivers are employed by companies because they work for low wages. Unsuitable for HGV means what? What the heck is a HGV? Why would a road be unsuitable for one? At least this English speaker knows what a lorry is, but not a HGV. Now if it said no vehicles more than 15 feet king pin to rear axle, then it would be obvious. If it said unpaved road it would be obvious. As for sat nav, no issue at all. It is the car database that is the fault. Load a heavy weight vehicle database and there is no problem. Just slap a sticker on, for use in cars only, will give illegal routes for trucks. |

HGV=Heavy Goods Vehicle, which is split into 2 classes, 1 & 2. Class 2 is for rigid trucks up to 26 tons. Class 1 is for articulated vehicles up to 44 tons. The main problem here in the UK is that there are numerous little towns & villages where one would just about be able to get a 7½ ton vehicle through them let alone an articulated 40 foot, 44 tonner. Unfortunately, regardless of nationality, the drivers on the road today just want everything done for them without having to use their brain cells. |

Oops, Google & map makers in a quandry.... Just like the Falklands don't exist only the Malvinas do. Aren't there more examples in the South China Sea? |

Oops, Google & map makers in a quandry.... Looks like someone not reading properly. The Falklands/Malvinas exist...Sandy Island doesn't. |
