If you have the room the HD projection TVs at 1080p are significantly cheaper than the flat screen versions. I partial to the Sony brand. I'm still looking but thought I was going to be a buyer when my family room TV fritz out for awhile. Just like someone else posted, power off/power on...

Very, very expensive airplane to fly and maintain...very persnickity when it comes to Mx. Figure at least $50K for an engine. Len

The short body Mooney aircraft M20C and M20E are really 2+2 aircraft when it comes to seating room. I am about 5 feet 5 inches tall and put the left front seat of my M20C on the second notch from the front...my wife (similiar height) does the same for her right front seat. There is room...

Slick airplanes...agreed. Don't try to force a Mooney to land...agreed. 10 hours of dual...maybe. It all depends on your attitude, overall experience and ability to fly the right speed from the time you start down, enter the pattern and until you turn off the run way. Len

I hate to say it but I'm funnier, smarter but not as good looking in person. Len P.S. I spell better too.

Tony, Drop me a line at len.lanetti@pfpc.com if you (or anyone) is out there looking. Len

A, RE the biz rules. The system has been N-tier since day one....really three major tiers...user interface (thin client even when we were using VT220s) is the top tier...all the biz logic is in the main middle tier and RMS files as the data tier at the bottom. Below the biz logic tier we...

Bruce, If that doctor thing doesn't work out let me know....we are always looking for good FORTRAN coders. :<) Len

Ghery, Well...at one time I could sight read hollerth at about 5 to 10 WPM...a little faster at Baudot...though I don't remember anything special about column 6...it was a long time ago. Len

Andrew, Millions of lines of code...the application has been around for 20 years at an average of about 20 hard core coders developing new stuff every day during that time...it is also very mission critical processing...a lot of stuff in the core system is old and so re-writting it means...

Lance, Thanks...if I were choosing today I would pick something but the core of the app is just over 20 years old today...lots of man years invested...some folks think we should re-write it...I'm against that...I've seen too many firms in our business try it...for some it put them out of...

I am always amazed at the diversity of knowledge here. I've actually been Google'ng with little sucess. I should have just realized that posting a question here would get me the best results. The core of the application that I am the pdocut manager for is writeen in FORTRAN. We often come...

Adam, Is he flying a 210? Len

Well it happened enough that there is a rather irreverent joke associated with the occurrence. Based on the prevalent use of CRM and the nature of the joke I'd bet it is a pretty old joke. Len

Condition of the plane aside (note that if a part 135 operator thought they could cost effectively squeeze more out of a plane they would - purchase price is kinda like the tip of the iceberg) you need to honestly evaluate the revenue that could be generated with the aircraft. Of course, that...

Andrew, Good luck. Note that typically the words "large firm" and "entrepreneurial" don't really go together. If I were to guess I'd say that the problem is not the folks doing the development...the problem is probably with focus and buy in across the organization. Each czar looking for...

I don't have it in the spreadsheet I posted but I do have an unexpected maintenance reserve. It would be easy to add or change what is in the attached spreadsheet. Len

Damn. T-1,350.

Attached please find a zip file that contains spreadsheet that will help you calculate the true cost of ownership per hour. Open at your own risk. Len P.S. the file is zipped not due to size but because .xls file types are prohibited from being uploaded. P.P.S. note that the calculation...
