In December 2024, Capitalware’s new online shopping cart, managed by FastSpring, went live. Over the last few weeks, I have received a couple of angry emails regarding the foreign exchange fee being charged to the order when they are not located in the USA. During the signup process, I was told that it is far […]

New SUSE (SLES) Server

January 16, 2024 Roger Lacroix

My old server (x86 64-bit) that I had SUSE on it has been giving me headaches for several years. Many years ago, the hard drive crashed when I had SLES 11 SP2 installed on it. So, I replaced the hard drive with a new hard drive and install SLES 12 SP3. Everything was great for […]

My Bad – Accessibility Features Were Missing

March 31, 2022 Roger Lacroix

I did an oops and I’m not sure when. I’ve always want to treat all people the same way, that is why I make sure Capitalware products support as many languages as possible and support people with reading issues. Capitalware uses Excelsior Jet to compile and link Java applications into a stand-alone executable and on […]
