[time-nuts] Win 7 and Thunderbolt

[Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX N2469R]

I replaced a 2.22 version Thunderbolt with a 3.0 version
and Windows 7 Pro 64 bit went nuts.  After some Googling
it became apparent that some bagbiter MS software was
interrogating the serial ports looking for a serial ballpoint
pointer.   Windows started hallucinating as it tried to parse
GPS data as cursor movements and mouse clicks.

After reinstalling Windows twice I saw a message suggesting
disabling the ballpoint driver.  That works so far.  Don't remove
it, it will just come back.  Disable it.

The 3.0 version seems to do a much better job keeping things
steady than 2.22 dis.
