[Elecraft] ANN: KComm 1.1 released

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Thanks
I'd like to avoid XP, mostly because I'm a Unix professional who needs  
a bit more time on Linux (I'm mostly Solaris)

I've seen a colleagues Eee PC 701 and wondered, but I'd like to spend  
less, so was thinking of the 4G (701)

any thought's most welcome
