    DA40 & Piper Arrow vs. C172 and Cherokee

    Agree here. :) The 172 was the same. I used the space behind the passenger front seat. Easy to reach during taxi or cruise flight if needed. If I have a passenger, I put them behind me. That way if I have them reach for something, I can see what they are handing me.

    Tower communication question

    You can also check liveatc.net to see if your airport is listed and listen in. It will help. Then you can dig up some of the busier airports and listen to the airliners and notice that the communication is not that much different. Then listen in on Oshkosh or Sun 'n Fun for really organized...

    Took my private check ride today!!!

    Congrats! (I guess no one has told you yet, we require writeups on your checkride.) :) Ok, maybe when your cheeks quit hurting from the perma-grin.

    Wireless Router Suggestion

    I got an E1000 to replace my WRT54GL. Works fine. It was giving me fits on Wireless N, until I upgraded the laptop firmware.

    LOL, then you must not know about insurance fraud. ;)

    EAA bans guns at OSH

    That's like saying anyone who carries life insurance or any type of insurance is nuts. Don't you think? Sure there are nut cases out there, but preventing one from protecting themselves is nuts in itself. (IMO.) Some of our worst mass murders were done where weapons were prohibited.

    Long CheckRide WriteUp (NE Texas sky no longer safe)

    Congrats pilot! That feeling of accomplishment is something that is difficult to explain to someone. They have to go through the process to understand. :yesnod:

    Lets make Friday 'Joke Day'!

    Be sure and cancel your credit cards before you die! This is so priceless, and so easy to see happening, customer service being what it is today. A lady died this past January, and Citibank billed her for February and March for their annual service charges on her credit card, and added late...

    Skyhawk to Skylane transition

    For me the transition was a non event. It was cold that day too, so Vx climb using the turbo, was pretty enlightening. The Turbo Inlet Temp (TIT) was a new gauge to monitor. Extra items I had to contend with...More trim, cowl flaps, Prop control, throttle back on climb out, and extra 15kts of...

    [NA] Remote video surveillance cameras

    I've given up on trying to find a good wireless. They don't seem to work well in my area and most seem to run on 2.4ghz. That also screws with the wireless network. Changing the channels do not help in my case, although it improves it somewhat. I'm now looking at wired systems. The resolutions...

    Is AVG better than Avast?

    The answer depends on the malware/virus/trojan. :wink2: Each one will pick up something over the other. Neither of them will help with the rogue antivirus malware. That one is RPITA and I read a white paper recently that claimed there are over 500k variants of that particular malware...

    Cannot Read from Source File or Disk

    I've had mine disabled on just about every machine I own. With the hard drive speeds today and the speed of memory, I haven't noticed any speed difference. Unless you have a really slow machine, I don't see the benefit for a personal pc, and with it enabled you open yourself up to more issues...

    Cannot Read from Source File or Disk

    Try disabling the write caching. Go into the driver properties and uncheck the write caching. Reboot. Then see if you can delete it. If not, run the error checker under the tools tab. It should work better than chkdsk. After that it require more advanced tools...

    USB flashdrive

    Sometimes the faster ones are more expensive. Some don't tell you the usb speed is the older 1.1 specs. (read as slower) For what we use them for (storage) it really doesn't make that much of a difference unless you're copying a 3gb virtual drive and want to go home. :incazzato: The SD cards...

    Vista Explorer

    It's probably a file security issue or a currupted explorer.exe. Since it is intermittent, suggest you jump over to tek-tips.com You'll probably have to create a user account, but then folks over there seem to be able to quickly find the relevant microsoft links. There are numerous forums...

    Does it identify the program that it is trying to restore to the task bar?

    Golden Eagle Not Updating

    Does your version of Mcafee include the resident shield? If it is active, try turning it off. Same for windows One Care if you have it.

    Golden Eagle Not Updating

    Mcafee and Norton both default to blocking everything. If you change to 'expert' mode in either program, or dig a bit, you should be able to get to the logs. You'll probably find one or more files being blocked. You can toggle the files one by one to see which on allows the download to work...
