I don't have MS Word and am to cheap to get it.To much $$$! I have AbiWord which is free and is very compatible with Windows. But it won't open CSV or GPX files. Does anyone know of another good word processor or a solution to this issue? Or maybe there is a way to use Abiword so it will open these files up? Thanks!

Well tonight at 12 midnight EDT the FBI will disconnect the substitute server they put online. See:

There are still about 45,600 U.S. users that are infected and about 250,000 worldwide.

If it could be done as a TTS voice (and I believe it cannot by us), who would you like to hear as a voice and what phrase would you create?

I would like Troy from Swamp Wars. The phrase is him warning me of a upcoming deer crossing.

"Roll down the windows and get out the guns! We got deer!"

(Yes, I know that the deer crossing is not a TTS phrase)

July 9 could be 'Internet doomsday' for some (so check your PC or Mac).

This has come up previously but the FBI was involved in preventing the problem until now(Monday July 9 2012).

Read about it and check your computer if you wish:

What does the red "Updated" mean on the 'Recent Posts" view?

There are no new replies, and it does not show up on my 'unread posts'. I did a search of the FAQs but found nothing.

Happy and safe Independence Day to our friends in the USA.

This week we're recognizing pwohlrab. He frequently points other users to FAQs and other information already on the site. He's an all-around swell guy; and as of last week, he's been a member for four years.

Keep up the good work!

In danger of losing your windmill?
Maybe you can share with us the last place your GPS took you and if you encountered any problems, or if you use it to seek out special places to go (like Thai Food, ice cream shoppes, etc.) Anything to keep your windmill alive.

We are planning a long weekend trip to Indianapolis on the weekend after July 4th (Thurs. - Sun.). Having never been there before I was wondering if anyone familiar with the city would have some good suggestions for things to do or places to eat.

I know this isn't directly related to POI's, but it is in a roundabout way. I've got one burning question and I'll explain it first...
