9 to 5
Maybe it was a subconscious choice. A reaction to missing (!) office life. But the other night my wife and I watched a film I’d never seen: 9 to 5, that classic workplace comedy with Jane Fonda,Dolly Parton, and Lily Tomlin, which, 40 years on, is still smart and very funny. Consider it the perfect movie to watch at the end of a long day at your new home office. ($4 rental, amazon.com) --Michael Hainey Sqlpro studio 1 0 325 – powerful database manager training.
Work from Home
Milligram
I used to fantasize about a home work space, one that would be elegantly stocked with notebooks and writing utensils and files, all attractively organized, like the Nancy Meyers–kitchen equivalent of a study. When I started working from home, I realized that my real desk was more of a general storage space for coats, keys, and unopened mail. Milligram is an Australia-based stationery-and-all-things-paper retailer that sells the loveliest notebooks and planners and fountain pens and calendars. I spent a few hours browsing—organization may be the to-do list’s close cousin when it comes to procrastination—and now have a dream desk fit with enough supplies to outlast my work-from-home tenure.

Soak
Pursoma’s Digital Detox
Soulver 2 5 3. Now that the newest iPhones are water-resistant, work, social media, and the news can follow us into the bath. I recently dropped my phone into an antique claw-foot tub—the device went unscathed, but my fleeting panic alerted me to the fact that I needed to unplug. Enter the digital-detox solution from Pursoma. The pouch of French green clay and sea salt comes with instructions: Draw a hot bath, pour in the mix, put all your devices on airplane mode, and then steep yourself for 30 minutes, sipping cold water throughout. The final recommendation is an après bain rest. I’m not sure if it was the cleansing solution or some kind of phoneless-induced bliss, but after emerging from my soak I fell directly into a narcotic slumber, and woke up in the morning feeling as peaceful as a newborn without an e-mail address.

Listen
The Missing Cryptoqueen
Proving the adage that truth is stranger than fiction, The Missing Cryptoqueen, a podcast series from the BBC, tells a story of greed, deception, and acquiescence that upstages that of Elizabeth Holmes. Dr.Ruja Ignatova, a Bulgarian-born entrepreneur, once claimed she had invented a crypto-currency to rival Bitcoin: she called it OneCoin. She persuaded individuals and companies from 175 countries to invest billions—documents leaked to the BBC show that British investors spent nearly $35 million on the project in the first half of 2016. But then, just as law enforcement was starting to sniff out a case against the company, Ignatova boarded a plane to Athens in late 2017 and disappeared. British author and journalist Jamie Bartlett unravels the story of OneCoin and its inscrutable founder. (bbc.co.uk) --Bridget Arsenault

Airmail Version 3 for SailMail
Updated May 21, 2020
This is the download page for the Airmail 3 client program for SailMail. Airmail is a radio-email program, this page is devoted to the SailMail client applications. Airmail 3 is compatible with all Windows versions from XP on. It also works fine on Mac's using Parallels, VMware, VirtualBox, etc, and on Linux under WINE (with some difficulties). Supported modems include the SCS PTC-II-family and 'Dragon' modems plus most Pactor-1 modems. Development is continuing, please report any problems and stop back often for updates.
Installation instructions (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY):
Airmail version 3 is a single installation file that includes everything needed: Airmail and its weather companions, the 'Icepac' propagation software, and USB drivers for the SCS modems. The current Airmail version 3.5.036 is well-tested, and works fine with all versions of Windows (XP through Windows-10), both x86 (32-bit) and 64-bit versions.
Updating: Your current Airmail installation can be updated in the same way as a new installation-- download and install the latest version. Your settings and messages will not be disturbed. To update a Winlink version to also support Sailmail, download and install the same Airmail version from this page and install into the same folder. Click Here for additional notes on using Airmail with both Sailmail and Winlink.
Airmail 3.5: Sailmail is now a certified application for the Iridium GO! and Airmail ver 3.5 adds support for this device, as well as a new 'Dedicated Route' function to solve the problem of other applications jumping on an open sat-phone connection. This version also adds full support for the SCS Pactor-4 'Dragon' modems, and includes an updated Viewfax grib and image viewer is also included. See the included release-notes for details.

Archives: Airmail ver 3.4.062: Click Here to download Airmail ver 3.4.062 (about 11MB).
This is an 'all in one' install with Airmail including wefax, propagation, and a new Viewfax grib/fax viewer with 'get it now' (File menu) and updated USB drivers for SCS modems. This version (and the installer) is compatible with Windows XP through 10 and installs application-data folder by default to avoid Win7 security warnings. It will also transfer messages and settings that were stored elsewhere by earlier Airmail versions (see note below).
Note: This 'b' version of the 3.4.062 download includes updated Icepac propagation files, and updated USB drivers for the SCS PTC-IIusb, PTC-IIIusb, DR-7400 and DR-7800 modems (select 'PTC-IIusb' in Airmail's modem options).
Installation: Download and save this install-file to a 'downloads' folder on your computer, or to a CD or memory-stick, then open it (i.e. run it) to start the Airmail installer. For Win-7 you may see a confirmation for 'amsm34062b, Sirius Cybernetics LLC', click 'Continue'. For the Airmail installer the default settings should work fine in every application. When you are finished you may see a 'This program may not have installed correctly' message, click 'Ignore' or just close that box-- Windows is confused, Airmail did install correctly.
Important Note when updating a Vista/Win7 installation to Airmail 3.4 from ver 3.3:Under Vista/Win7, messages and data files must be stored under the 'Program Data' folder in order to avoid security issues. The Airmail ver 3.4 installer will transfer messages and settings that were stored elsewhere by earlier Airmail versions, including files which have been hidden (i.e. 'virtualized') by Vista's security. If you have a lot of stored messages this can take a long time, DO NOT terminate the installation or things will left in a scrambled state with only part of the messages transferred.
Other Downloads:
Propagation: Airmail also includes a propagation window. which uses the “ICEPAC” propagation program as a prediction engine. Airmail 3.4 includes the Icepac software, but it must be installed separately for Airmail 3.3, or if the complete Icepac user-interface is desired. ICEPAC can be downloaded from Greg Hand's ITS support website, select the most-recent version.
Weather fax and Grib info: An update to Airmail’s weather-fax companion is available, including a viewer which decodes and displays Grib weather-data files as well as most image types for viewing wefax images and now includes downloading directly from Saildocs (handy for trip-planning with large grib files). It is available from Airmail’s “weather fax” page (click here) . (Not needed for Airmail ver 3.4)
Spelling Dictionaries: Additional language dictionaries for the spell-checker are available here. Starry night pro plus 8 0 28. These are “zip” files, after downloading then open them (by double-clicking) and drag the “.adm” file into Airmail’s Dictionaries folder. Restart Airmail, then use Airmail’s Tools/Options/Spelling window to enable the new dictionary. (If you can’t open a “zip” file then go to www.winzip.com and download the demo version of Winzip, free and fully functional).
Firmware: Current firmware is included with the Airmail download, use Airmail's Update-Firmware window (Tools menu) to install. The latest firmware is also available from the SCS website.
PTC-IIusb USB Drivers:Drivers for the PTC-IIusb are included on a CD included with the modem, available for download from the SCS website, and included with the Airmail ver 3.4 downloads. If you install Airmail before plugging in the modem, and leave the 'Install PTC-IIusb drivers' option selected in the Arimail installer, then the drivers will be pre-installed and the modem will install automatically. Alternately, put the SCS CD in the computer and plug in the modem, when the 'New Hardware' wizard appears skip internet searching and select 'install automatically'-- or select a location and point windows to your downloaded drivers.
If you want to download and install the drives separately from Airmail, here are the driver-installer programs that are included with Airmail:
- 32-bit: SCS Ver 2.08.24 drivers for 32-bit versions of Windows
- 64-bit: SCS Ver 2.08.24 drivers for 64-bit versions of Windows
- A 'zip' file with both: SCS ver 2.08.24 drivers (zip file)

Floppy Disks and other antiquities: If you think you need to copy Airmail onto floppies, then please find another solution- like running to the store for a USB memory-drive. The reason is that floppies are notoriously unreliable, especially after being stored in the bilges for a few years. If there is absolutely no other option then do a Google search for 'FileSplitter'.
Airmail ver 3.3.081 is available here.
