Re: FSX Acceleration hassle

Thanks Larry :thumbsup: I always feel more confident doing things when I know why, so would you please say why scenery should not be in the Add on folder.

Re: Wedding Anniversary Card

Congrats on the 43 years! :cheers:

We celebrate our 30th early next month and as I said to an older (male) assistant at one of the local big box stores last week "If I 'd murdered her instead of marrying her I'd be a free man by now!" :doh: :'( :lol:

Re: Airspeed - Mike Johnson

Not the news I was expecting but I hope Mike is able to fight it off and make a recovery. He's been a stalwart around here for as long as I've been a member and we need him back ASAP. Keep on fighting Mike! :thumbsup:
