[Elecraft] Subject: Computers In The Shack

[Edward R Cole]

Hmm, another survey?

I have had up to four computers in the shack, but run two 
(mainly).  I Dell duo-core P4 2.33G with 2GB memory XP32 which is 
always connected to the K3 serial port and does all the digital mode 
work.  I Dell Inspiron with win8.1 always connected to the SDR-IQ but 
gets very irregular use.  I have an old P90 win95 IBM thinkpad for 
running an old packet program or a CW key program (but not getting 
much use these days - Keep for any legacy DOS sw).

At some point we will disconnect the duo-core P4 from the internet 
and e-mail will go to the win8.1 machine (Hopefully win10 will be 
with us by then).  I will have to get fm downloads from the laptop at 
that point.

Or maybe by then we will replace the laptop (2009 purchase).  My wife 
bought a new Dell with win7 this past year and is chomping for a new 
desktop (her's is same genre as my desktop which she never uses).  I 
told her to wait till win10 is available.  She also has a ipad-3 
which is in constant use.  I have no idea why she needs a desktop.
