[Dx4win] Developments

Fri Apr 10 04:02:31 EDT 2020

Hi Guy,

Maybe you are right, let's praynfor Paul and his health.

By the way I don't know what is the perspective of Paul about his own
program, maybe we, old timers can be comfortable with the actual features
but what about new comers???? Is Paul trying to get new blood into DX4WIN
or it'll be die with us?

Yes maybe computers are taking a main position in ham radio, but is what
technology has, isn't it??? Computers are in our lives, for everything, at
work, at daily routines with cell phones , tablets, smartwatches......
Computers try to make our lives easier , why don't we take advantage of
it??? Is it a sin???.

I'm not too old, almost 45 and I love technology and computing, I'm chef
and technology helps me a lot in my day life. Let's use the advantage not
fight against it.... Don't turn our backs to the future.....

My two cents...
