<20:00:20>  *** You are now talking in channel: "OpenHPSDR"

<20:51:33> "Rob - VE3EW":  yes  but i cant xmt forgot what key i used

<20:51:55> "KV0S - Dave": OK No problem

<21:11:42> "Mike - AA8K": THANK YOU DAVE!

<21:14:27> "Bill - KD5TFD": Ken's one of those CW ops .. not sure he does voice!

<21:14:42> "Ken N9VV": Sorry - I am Technical Support only. All the Apache Business is taken care of at
<support@apache.labs.com>

<21:24:14> "Jeremy - NH6Z": Bought a copy of Windows 8 on the special upgrade deal for my VMWare instance.  Not really happy with it so far.

<21:24:52> "Bill - KD5TFD": Have not played with 8 yet ... not really excited about the idea

<21:25:57> "Jeremy - NH6Z": Apparently the online updater that you use to get the upgrade download detects whether your original OS is 32-bit or 64-bit and only allows you to get the corresponding Windows 8.

<21:26:11> "Bill - KD5TFD": joy

<21:26:16> "Jeremy - NH6Z": So, I'm kinda irritated that I now have Windows 8 32-bit on my nice Core i7

<21:26:33> "Bill - KD5TFD": that's a bit ridiculous

<21:26:40> "Jeremy - NH6Z": I'm not really sure why they even are selling the 32-bit version with the minimum requirements they have on the thing.

<21:26:58> "Bill - KD5TFD": wonder if they're now charging a premuim for 64 bit os's?

<21:27:33> "Jeremy - NH6Z": Not that I'm aware of.  If you had like Win Vista 64-bit and used their upgrader, you'd get the 64-bit Win 8.

<21:27:47> "Jeremy - NH6Z": Or, if you ordered the DVD for like $20 extra, you get both editions.

<21:28:06> "Ken N9VV": Windows-8 = $14.99 if you purchase a new i7 CPU from August 2012-March 2013

<21:28:37> "Jeremy - NH6Z": I'm not buying a PC just to run Win 8. :p

<21:28:52> "Jeremy - NH6Z": And I bought my iMac last January.  It's not even close to ready for upgrading.

<21:28:57> "Ken N9VV": Flame Suit installed and fully functional

<21:29:34> "Ken N9VV": Additional DVD costs $20.00 -- total $34.99 (both 32 + 64 bit)

<21:30:10> "Jeremy - NH6Z": If you haven't bought new hardware, you have to pay $39.99 for the download.  Therefore it increases the cost by 50% to get the DVDs.
