MapInfo Misses Big Chance?

My company currently owes everything to Mapinfo. We were of their ealiest partners, sought by the vision of my boss Carl Kurt.

Through their platform we provided tools and capabilities unknown at the time. However, as times are changing, their competitors are now providing cool services too.

Mapinfo has good stuff, like their geocoding product, MapMarker Plus, is an amazing product but is fairly expensive.

Do they want/need to compete with 'Google Maps/Earth' or 'Mappoint'? They easily could have 10 yrs ago had they found the vision. I wish the 'brand new' version of their flagship product, MapInfo Professional 8.0, supported Access 2003.

MapInfo...its time to get rockin!

The Ole Village Greens Golf Course

Peez took me out to one of our old college favorites 2 weekends ago. The course is called THE VILLAGE GREENS and it resides in lovely Ozawkie, KS near Perry Lake. We played this course quite a bit in our later days in college because it was cheap and fun. All we had was Alvamar when we were at KU and she’s a little pricey for college kids. Anyway, it was humid and hot but good times. After, we stopped in Oskaloosa to watch the final round of the PGA at some local ‘downtown’ bar called Angie’s?

Simulating A Right-Click From The Keyboard

I have been doing quite a bit of LogMeIn (IT Reach and Rescue) lately and sometimes my mouse right-click does not work to get context menus. Therefore, if you ever have this issue, just select the icon or item you need and press [Shift] [F10]. I am sure Tim could have told me this, but he wasn't here :)
