Just did an update to Winows 7 today and was reminded by MS that the end of Windows 7 support will end on January 14, 2020.

Don't really want to update to Windows 10, because I dislike the user interface change. BUT, I do know that you can change how Win 10 looks in the "Personalize" menu. Selecting "Classic" will make the screen look like Win 7. Hopefully all the major bugs have been fixed.

Today Mac Catalina is out. Garmin poi loader is a 32-bit app, which will not work once I update MacBook. I weekly download and install the Red light cameras.
Will there be a way to get the POI factory files converted for my MacBook since this happened?
Thanks for looking

In danger of losing your windmill?

Maybe you can share the last place your GPS took you and if you encountered any problems, or if you used it to seek out special places to go (like Thai Food, ice cream shoppes, etc.).

Anything to keep your windmill alive.

When I moved to PA in 1999, I was shocked that people told me, "Yeah you can get a coupon and it's only $60."

I moved from NYS where it was $14.

Today, for the 21st year in a row, I got yet another car inspected. Yes, she passed, as I maintain our cars and likely I would not take it in if destined to fail, at least not knowingly.

Microsoft said Friday it will offer free security updates through the 2020 election in the United States — and in other interested democratic countries with national elections next year — for federally certified voting systems running on soon-to-be-outdated Windows 7 software. https://www.apnews.com/0391d06ba1c74e64af0d42de9ca05e93

Happy anniversary to me. Exactly 57 years ago (well, 57 years and two days ago to be exact) I enlisted in the U.s. Navy. Man, it seems like just yesterday. I got to see the world and it shaped the rest of my working life. At the tender age of 17, it was the best thing I had ever done.
