[Elecraft] PC laptop for K3/KX3 digital modes

[Oliver Johns]

If you have a Mac (I have a MacBook Air) you can also run windows under a free (as in free beer) virtualization program from Oracle called VirtualBox.  It is mostly open source.  I use it to run XP and Win7 and Ubuntu on my Mac.  The virtual machine files are not large.  It works very well.
