Palm and Win 10
From: Dick Ivers
Question From Dick Ivers:
Is anybody running Palm Desktop software from Windows 10? If so, where can a download be found and will HotSync work?
R.
Dick
Dick, I recommend that Magic Timers customers use a Palm such as the M125 or M500 that had a SD card to back up programs. Seeing this card can be pout in a Windows PC it can be used to move data back and forward. Incidently we will be releasing a Palm alternative shortly for Magic Timers.
Speed of Social media
At the recent USA Team Triala we posted the Results of one of the F1B Flyoff on the “free Flight” FB page shortly after the CD announced the results. Alex Andriukov reports that he got a congratulatory phone call from his friend Oleg K in the Ukraine before he had retrieved the model !
Fab Feb Update
Please don’t send in entry information yet . We will be making an online entry form available. Using this form will capture all the information needed to fill out all AMA and organizer forms and will speed up the entry process when you get to Lost Hills.
Also rumored that a couple well known AMA flyers have snagged big bucks ( 3 zeros) for a Winner takes for selected AMA events in the Ike . Details real soon now … which means when they are worked out .
Jim Parker is coordinating the event on the Ike Sunday for the Lost Hills kids, this will be a cat glider event. Jim will also introduce selected kids to F1A flying. If you want to give the kids a more balanced outlook and stop Jim corrupting them with F1A and introduce them to another class or just help with the whole process reply to this SEN.
