....about why I haven't posted any new route guides to my web site lately, that's because I have been having issues with my current computer and web site software package. I am currently attempting to correct that by completely redoing and "remodeling" the web site, with plans to buy a new computer, which hopefully will be compeleted by this summer sometime.

Sorry Smitty, no Apple in my future! Some of my older software (including the mapping software I use for my RR guides) I KNOW won't work with Apple/Macintosh, since it was written for PC, and at one time in the past, when I had my last Macintosh computer, I had to buy "Virtual PC" to run the software, and even then it did not run well. I am not even sure this particular software will run on Windows 9........ And there is NO update for the software I am using -- the series was discontinued by De Lorme years ago.

If you can still find a new Windows 7 PC, Virtual PC can be had for free through Microsoft. It will run old XP programs. I use it to run a mid-90's version of Lotus 123 spreadsheet and it works fine. Faster, in fact, than Excel. I have still seen Windows 7 PC's advertised new. Google "Microsoft Virtual PC". I think with Windows 8, you are out of luck.
