	Michael - You had one in there that was 19hrs---- in one day???? When you add in the forum time, this hobby can be all consuming! I see you are in the TPA area. We lived in Coral Springs for five years and MCO for 9 years. I do miss FL! We have friends from Hudson all the way down to Naples. My old boss from Pan An lives on Longboat Key. That's a dynamite system you have. Did you build it? You have all the high end components from about a year ago. You are either a geek or have been paying attention to Nick Needham's stuff! � If I lived where you are I'd drive just up the road and buy a new system from Jetline Systems in Spring Hill, FL.

The odd thing about it is the time in the 762 because I have probably flown that maybe 2 or 3 times in last year and a half prior to this period. Michael Cubine Wow! that IS a lot! I play other games sometimes which can take me away from FSX. Like LFS (on Live to Cruise), Trainz 2012, Ship Simulator Extremes or Unreal Tournament GOTY 1999 (my favorite). I usually log 5+ games a day on UT. Did you do that Excel file yourself? Or did you download it from somewhere. I'm just asking because I'm sure I've downloaded something like that before. I have lost quite a few flights because the Logbook.bin file keeps getting corrupted. I have a program to repair it, I when it repairs it, it gets rid of any corrupted logged flights. I can create an excel file to store my flights anyway. I was just curios as to how you got yours.. Mark I created the Excel file about a year and a half back. At that time I was having to do soo many reinstalls of FSX and that was the way to go. Even though I was backing up the Logbook.bin file on a regular basis sometimes it just didn't work with the FSX reinstalls so that is when I started manually entering the flight info into a very basic Excel file that I created. I know hardly anything about Excel. My expertise was Supercalc and Lotus 123. Michael Cubine

Bruce The 19 hours in one day about did me in. There was like a two hour turn around in Dallas. Thank god it was a highly automated MD-11. These computer might be up to date when you order them but by the time they are built, shipped and received they are already behind the curve. Jetline Systems in Spring Hill is where this came from. I quit building PCs' in the middle 90s'. Michael Cubine

	Lou, Given your response to an approach in such conditions ( see previous page) you would divert to another airport rather than attempt the landing? Based on your comments, suddenly I don't feel so bad for not being 100% on my landing attempts. What about in a plane other than a 707? BTW, nice looking pair of bikes you have.

	BrianG, To attempt a landing in the 707 in that kind of weather would be a no no! The visibility makes it CAT-II and the wind makes it illegal since the max x-wind would be 10 knots. Even in a CAT-III autoland plane it would be a go somewhere else flight. Lou

You could select from 4-5 cases, 5 processors, 7-8 hard drives, 3 operating systems and so on. The company was Micron PC. They were more expensive but if you didn't have the time what could you do. Supercalc, Lotus123, and Excel - different generations. Excel had just come on the market when I quit using spreadsheets for work. Michael Cubine

Rereading my reply, I noticed that I seemed a bit harsh with the question about you quitting building you own PC's. Sorry for that. I can respect your reasons. I think I've been doing it for too long to be able to stop now. I remember having a go at Lotus123, but I found some other program better (to me) back then. Lotus123 was probably the better in reality, but I was only doing very basic stuff with them back then, so Lotus123 was way beyond what I needed at the time. I'll never really know now. Mark

	Mark I don't think the question was harsh. It was just a normal question. Don't worry about it. Michael Cubine
