    Are these radio companies killing Rock Radio on purpose . . . Especially CBS Radio?

    How to Handle 1/2 million files in XP

    I understand the software only saves to one directory, but is there a reason you need to keep all the files in One Directory? If you manually archive the files to sub folders by Week or Month and that would make the base directory much more usable.

    Are you running the 64-Bit version of Windows 7? If you are that is for sure why your Card File program isn't working, you stated it was a 16 bit app. Quite possibly this is the same problem you are having with the older version of Quicken. 16bit applicaitons will not run on a 64bit operating...

    I thought this was not possible.

    The capability for the Tunderbolt to do simultaneous voice and data has nothing to do with its capability to do 4G LTE. It uses a new CDMA chipset that allows this capability.
