Tom Lathrop Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 Just got back from hospital today after having an auxiliary CPU installed in the upper chest. Seems to be working well but time will tell. Only a couple functions programmed so far but will return in a week to check it out and program in a couple more functions. These things are amazing but call for a lot of trust in technology. Not running marathons yet but did buy some green bananas on the way home. :-D Can't sail for at least 6 weeks. Will be ready with Lapwing for the messabout though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You seem to have an attitude... so I'll take liberties.. do you have the one with the NMEA data bus? The one that allows you to connect to your GPS - so you can find the bathroom in the dark, and other things. ATB, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Lathrop Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 The bathroom is one of the things I can always find in the dark. Lots of practice does it. :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Hagan Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Good luck with the auxiliary control! You'll have to go through the "hand inspection" line at the airport now, so I would stick to sailing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Lathrop Posted September 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Tom, are you coming to the Wooden Boat Show in Georgetown this year? We come most every year but this year is not certain. Trying to keep Oct 17 open though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfeller Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Congratulations on the new CPU. Here's to hoping that it's not running Windows Vista. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Lathrop Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Congratulations on the new CPU. Here's to hoping that it's not running Windows Vista. I think they said DOS. A somewhat older system perfected by the ancient :pharo: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Turpin Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Just got back from hospital today I'm just sort of surprised that you didn't just do it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Niemann Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Tom, You did get the phone number of the technical support team, didn't you? If you need help you can always call the GEEK Squad. Take care of yourself Tom. I hope to see you at Grahams messabout. Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
