Good for you!  My money comes in from VMS.  I use Linux and Android, but
nothing really for anthing that brings me money.  WEENDOZE?  Useless!  I
have one rocket altimeter that requires its data communication/download
software run on WEENDOZE.  It's nothing but problems, problems, problems.
I will not purchase any product that has a WEENDOZE only interface and I
am quite sorry I purchased this one particular altimeter.  I have never
has a need for WEENDOZE and as soon as I replace this rocket altimeter,
I will never have need for it again.
