Dear Joyce:
I had a colon resection on June 23rd. Was in Bryan for 9 days - everything
had to function before I could leave! (Oh, joy.) There was no cancer -
had diverticulosis. I am going to have to check with SECC to see if there's
a possibility of "late enrollment" - at least wait until after I see the
doctor.
Thanks so much for the message and the offer of a ride - and will visit
soon.
Cheers,
Joan

Hi Betty
Thanks for the program details,the only problem I have is
at 3000 ft everything is blurred and does not get sharp until between
10,000 and 20,000 ft.I had the same trouble with Nasa World Wind ,a
similar program.Of course once you get that high theres no chance of
seeing your house.
I have a reasonable spec system AMD Sempron 2800,512 Mb Sdram,120Gb
harddrive.The only thing I can think of is my graphics card although a
recent Nvidia card it is at the low end of the price range ,so perhaps you
don't get the best results.
regards
Mike Roberts
