[Elecraft] Thanks for serial port comp info

[DBellW6AQ at aol.com]

Thank you Don and Bob.  My poor old Toshiba notebook crapped out so I  
ordered an IBM small desktop with 2 serial ports and 8 usb ports dual core and  
all the goodies for under $300 from Tiger.  
 
Appreciate the info.
 
73, Dave

I've  bought a couple and the ones I received were like new.  Keep 
watching  the site as
inventory changes rapidly.  Sometimes there are even % off  sales.
