Hi Carl,

Thanks very much for taking the time to put yet another OLD TYME RADIO calendar together.  I will download it and have it proudly displayed!

Hope to work you one of these days on the airwaves.

Thanks Carl - looking forward to seeing the 2014 Calenday, but I appear to stuck in a warp in the time space continuum, when I clicked on the link, the 2012 calendar came up,  Not looking forward to having to relive the Bobby Valentine Red Sox season.

Merry Christmas to all of you still in 2013!

Hi Chris,

The same thing happened to me the first time I tried.  You need to click on the banner directly below it and you will get the 2014 calendar.

Thanks Joe - you know, I tired exactly that, but it did not go anywhere...I recall that at the time it did not appear to have a link underline on it, only the one above it did which took me back to 2012.  I now appear to be back in 2013, but at a point before Carl actually populated the calendar with any pictures!  All I am seeing is a set of plain text calendar tables for each month.  Wierd...I am using Open Office to open it and it comes across as an Open Office.docx file....maybe my O O version is out of date?

Tried poking through different View options in OO and did not come across any graphics, just the text tables. The file size is showing at 847K, seems to big for just the text, OTOH, kind of small for a doc file with lots of graphics.

I just clicked on it and then I was asked if Microsoft Word was ok to open it and I said yes and that was it.

Hmm....just checked the 2012 file, which opened fine, it came across as an Open Office .doc  (as opposed to the 2014 .docx file type), also it is quite a bit larger, 2.7 MB vs the less than a MB of the 2014 file I downloaded.  No Microsoft Word on this iMac, just Open Office.  I think I have Word on my Dell Laptop with XP, will try there and on my 4S iPhone.

All fixed.

The hyperlink changed only on the bottom part. Now both lines point to 2014

Came up fine on the iPhone 4S!  Thinking there is a problem with my  iMac OO version not being able to read docx files properly.

Well, now the upper hyperlink still seems to point to the 2012 file, and the lower one says file not found!  Did a computer restart,and a restart of Firefox with the same result/

Carl - we are too old for this stuff, need someone under the age of 35  to help us old buzzards out!

It does look very nice on the 4S Carl...thanks for your efforts!

Good move. Word is quirky and has always done poorly at accurately translating between what's shown on the screen and what is printed.

Thanks for your efforts.

Thanks for your efforts.

When I first opened it when it was the .docx file, the only thing there was the heading and picture, and even those were in the wrong place. Everything else just wasn't there at all.
