ID5001 Weather Computer

[Charles W. Morehouse]

Hi to All,
I have found that most of my old dos programs don't work with the new
computer. It is a P4 Pentium 1.6 Ghz with a 400 Mhz front buss. I have
been told by computer folks that the problem is common. The computer is
just too fast. Solution -  rebuilding the old 100 Mhz Pentium with a new
drive. Will use it for the old dos programs. Seems that billy gates has
got us again. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, found on the net, a program
for the ID-5001. Downloaded a trial copy and it runs fine. It has a ton
of capabilities so will go with it.
