Agreed. Windows has always been lousy at multi-tasking. I remember people
saying years ago the benefit of switching from '98 to NT was you would never
see an egg-timer. But no, even today it's possible for some process to hold
up everything else on the PC.

But the K3 provides a more elegant solution to this problem. You can send
ASCII direct to the K3 using KY commands and it sends CW for you.
Unfortunately none of the main contest logging programs use it. (In fact I
think my program KComm, and possibly HRD, are the only ones that do.)
