Hey Joe,
I've used the old CPN on a Panasonic CF-48 (race boat) and Thinkpad
42 (my boat), XP SP2 or 3, with okay results for the geek oriented.
Sometimes it would need some coaching on the comm ports for GPS & AIS
data. So it wasn't good for the skipper who has the CF-48 onboard. He
also has a plotter so it was a minor irritation.
I am looking forward to getting both machines loaded with the current
OpenCPN, with AIS. I also have the CM-93 to install (for evaluation
purposes). Hopefully all this is done before the VanIsle360 starts.
Too bad their world chart effort hit the ditch last year.
Cheers, Russ

I just upgraded the boat computer from a ThinkPad 600E to 600X*. Now
I am cruising with Pentium III power instead of Pentium II I can get
OpenCPN working quite well. Anyone else using it? I really like the
tides, currents, and AIS functions. I still don't like ENC charts
much, but the raster charts work great.
