How about a new computer running something from this decade and not your Windows 95 that still works?

My point is DOT is on an even field and everyone is on the same level. I've talked to other Captains that invested in certain things to give themselves a fighting change. Maybe you need to talk to them as well. (Easy to find them, they are usually younger than 50)
Very funny, Flica is not the problem. No it's because I'm an obese senile fool using obsolete technology. However:

I have a smartphone
I dont need to diet, I use a mini ipad on the road with a smaller keyboard that makes my fingers seem large in comparison.
I have a dedicated high speed internet connection at home.
I have a new computer.

What are these "certain things" you recommend I invest in and why are they necessary if this is a level playing field?

Still doesn't alter the fact that open time is usually empty or anything else I stated. Ridiculing those who disagree with you doesn't solve a problem.
