[Elecraft] EQP Logger

[Kevin Rock]

Way cool!   I never know where I'll find a 
kindred spirit :)  The learned how to write 
windowing software on the Mac and then 
the Mac Plus.  The last school I attended 
had so few Mac programmers or Mac 
repair technicians I was in constant 
demand.  Working on their Macs was 
often more fun than the classes I was 
taking :)  But the 
last couple of schools I've attended 
required either knowledge of MS or Linux 
OS architectures, or a few specialized OSs 
for massively parallel machines (> 1000 
processors).  So my Macintosh roots are 
not as exposed as I would like (sorry 
about the mixed metaphor).  I await the 
release of Jaguar for the PC.  That will 
provide a 
Macintosh UI with Linux/Unix 
underpinnings; the best of both worlds 
IMHO.  So please keep us apprised of 
your work on 'alternate' OS applications.  
Once I get done 
with this thesis I would not mind 
collaborating on some K2 software 
projects with one of you.  Maybe this 
summer ?
