I have a GPE calendar, which I still use daily, and some GPE contacts.
The machine these run on is starting to fail -- spontaneous reboot,
random battery life, and the like.
It still runs well enough that I can *copy* the GPE data bases.
Any ideas how to move the data to a modern format?

While I am no fan of MS and it's tactics, they didn't steal DOS. They bought it

Is this a case of mass US based industrial espionage now?
It's been said that Microsoft makes a great deal of monies from Linux
with patents in play.
I see this as a perfect solution for Microsoft to go after every man and
his dog using github to see if there are any patents to win more money

I really can't see anything different about project autonomy before or

Yes, that really is a serious limitation. The Wikipedia page about the
