I was at the Dealership the other day and the report came back that the battery was down to 40% of capacity. I did not buy the dealer's offering, figuring that I could get a better battery elsewhere. Hence the question: What is the go-to battery for automotive use these days? Back in the...

The two occupants survived but are in the hospital. The Denver Post has little information. Anybody have any details? -Skip

A few threads on the Recent and the New Posts Forums show a checkmark in a black circle just left of the Replies column. What does this symbol mean? I can't find an explanation anywhere on POA. Thanks in advance, and (is it too early to say this?) Happy New Year and Happy, Safe Flying to all...

Some of you know that the former TWA terminal at JFK has been converted to a hotel, named the TWA Hotel. We went there back in February to have drinks and dinner with friends who were in transit. They have done an excellent job of converting the Eero Saarinen designed building from airport...

...has all but bricked my desktop. It has erased all my links on my home screen. It has erased my defaults. It tells me I need a different program to view .jpg files. and more, I am sure. This is just nuts! Beware! Furiously yours.... -Skip

I have an iPhone 8 with Verizon as the carrier. Irregularly, about 3 to 5 times a week, the phone will not ring when someone calls. I do get an entry on the "Recent Calls" page, but no voicemail (maybe that just means the caller left no voicemail). Is this a known problem? Is there a fix...

Suddenly this morning my POA screens are about 2x the normal size. I can't find where I can reset this minor problem. Little help? Thanks in advance!! -Skip

I am looking at a Google Map Satellite Images photo of JFK airport. I can find only one plane at a terminal - a JAL 777. Where did all the planes go? None taxiing, only one at any terminal. When was this? See https://goo.gl/maps/pQztH7ejagEBfBsKA which is terminal 5, Jet Blue as an...

Price $150.00 "Never used" which is a good thing! The unit is an ACR model PLB-200 Terrafix, similar in looks and capabilities to this one currently for sale on Amazon...

I have seen a few of these critters crawling around lately. They do not seem to fly. I have found them in the bathroom near where they could have fallen out of an exhaust vent. Fuzzy little guys! They seem to crawl either forwards or backwards, and turn with some difficulty. So would I with...

It is the History Guy. I think he is pretty good although I imagine he could get on your nerves. Anyhow, this one is about the origins of the CAP, and, as he sez, it is History that deserves to be remembered. -Skip

Do you remember the original IBM PC? It came with a "tokenized basic" chip in it that would run a text file basic program without the need for a compiler. Is there such a thing as an "IBM tokenized emulator" that will run an uncompiled basic program with Windows 10? Thanks! -Skip

I believe I need a new router. My existing Netgear (maybe 8 years old?) is dropping connections to my devices like 3x/week. Powering all down and rebooting solves this for a few days. I any case I will appreciate some advice as to what router to get. Thanks to all! -Skip

This is an older problem that I am just getting around to addressing. The PC (HP desktop, about 4 years old) Win 10 came installed. I get the following error messages about every 10 minutes. I'd like to turn them off! 14:44:13 Synchronizer Version 16.0.9029.2106 14:44:13 Synchronizing...

Found this on the web with no identifying information. Looks like a Boeing Stratocruiser with an amphib conversion?

I have a generic MS desktop where the kids have surfed with abandon for enough years filling it so full of crapware that it now takes a full 10 minutes to boot to the point when icons appear on the screen (and it still isn't fully loaded - the disc churns away for another 10 minutes although it...

I have a "non-smart" 1080p flatscreen and I would like to access the internet for content. Not clear if I will cut the cable; we will probably go through a trial period before the cable cutting. I'd also like to access FM Radio signals that are streamed on the internet. We've got relatively...

On the home page, the little map that shows States where I have landed is cut off so that it displays only the west half of the USA. We easterners object! Seriously no biggie but it is a bug. <edit> The map shows incorrectly on this post, too.... -Skip

With thanks to the bicycle mechanics from Dayton! -Skip :yes: :cheerswine: :thumbsup:

Supposedly the latest extreme sport. LOL! The operators (I am loathe to call them Pilots, but they do have skills. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/12/sports/drone-racing-competition.html?ribbon-ad-idx=34&rref=sports It is not these guys, who are near professional in their flying skills...
