[Elecraft] Split N/A

[Fred Jensen]

Don't know if "bad drivers" is the right term, possibly "new drivers" 
might be better.  I agree however that trying to fool proof can lead to 
all sorts of problems.  Although I thought [in the early 80's] that this 
cellular telephone business wouldn't catch on [heavy phone-in-a-bag] ... 
I am now on my 9th phone, this one a Verizon Samsung Galaxy 5 [I also 
told my wife that ATM's would be a loser for banks :-)].

The Galaxy 5 attempts to think for me in many places [spell check and 
auto-complete are only two small examples], and, with 29 yr old 
grandson's help, I'm slowly turning off the ones that I can.  I'm 
totally capable to learn how to do something with it on my own. 
Likewise with my KX1, K2, K3, KPA500, KAT500, and P3.

I'm not surprised how picky many have become, the technology we take for 
granted today is light-years beyond what we used in the 50's and we're 
used to pushing "popcorn" to nuke a bag to perfection [if it's correct 
side down].  I *am* glad however that Elecraft monitors this list [and 
likely others], and is very careful about implementing a suggestion from 
what could be a customer-base of one.
