This is just the sort of thing I was talking about in my previous post about
how the reach of amateur programmers is exceeding their grasp. Sadly, it's
not in the cards that a guy armed with  a couple of manuals and some good
intentions can write real-time, mult-threaded, interrupt-driven software
with a GUI and a bunch of low-level driver interfaces. This is unfortunate,
but there is no relief on the horizon. A common response is to blame Windows
or the hardware or something, but the many bug-free commercial PC games
(about $10 billion sold this year) reveal this to be sour grapes. We need to
recruit some guys from Apple and Google and Intel and EA to get passionate
about ham radio!
