A group of us met up with Mike's wife Joan and buried Mike's ashes today. You can find his grave and see the headstone at https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/231969555/michael-p-andrews

This was just a few months ago. Mike was so happy! I believe it was Chuck's cat

I did not live far from Mike. He always had a cable or gadget for something I'd be working on and if I started a sentence with "I need to order..." before I'd even finish he would be offering me one for what I needed and a spare for when that one might one day break! As some have said he loved...

Grant just called me and said that a couple of hours ago Mike Andrews passed away suddenly. It was just a couple of weeks ago that we were celebrating his 60th birthday. He was a great guy and friend. I have no other information than that right now. I reached out to his wife Joan and I know that...

Will the electric HD come with a loudspeaker spewing forth 'look at me' exhaust noise?

What happens when the 737-MAX software is loaded into other vehicles.

Takes the whole runway though! :-D

I've stayed the Hilton Midtown a couple of times. It is nice, albeit crowded, well situated to all the sites. It also is close to a couple of subway stops and of course Uber/Lyft/Taxi never a hard thing to get in Midtown. It is also far enough away from Times Square to get you away from all the...

I almost made it this year! But alas, I did not get home from Europe until Sunday!

FYI I have a functional 6S that I would let go very cheap!

A wise man said "fool me once, shame on you, fool me 13.0 times shame on me" :) FWIW I know some people who used the beta version and generally the comments were good. I have not seen anything I can share publicly about iOS13.0, good or bad so please do noot ask me.

It has been going on for a long time! Back when AT&T had a whole campaign around the 3G network, Sprint rolled out WiMAX and called it 4G. AT&T had kittens. For us greybeards we even remember Cingular talking about "Digital Voice Quality" when they rolled out TDMA in the early 90's. I can tell...

It is really rushed. If you look at the press, 2019/2020 was supposed to be the early release, but there was a rush in the latter half of 2018 to put out some 5G. Verizon created a proprietary technology that they had hoped would be adopted by the industry, but in the 2015/16 period no one, not...

5Ge is NOT 5G is a marketing ploy by ATT to make you think you have 5G. It is nothing but LTE aka 4G technology. https://adage.com/article/digital/5g-stunt-ces-misleading-a-marketing-ploy/316214

If you go around the Bravo to PWK that will eat up a lot of time. FWIW Uber/Lyft from DPA to ORD is about $45 each way. Would you consider risking life and limb flying straight over the lake to PWK? Uber/Lyft there will be cheaper, probably around $25 each way. But you know you engine is far...
