[Elecraft] Subject: Computers In The Shack

[Edward R Cole]

I didn't think to include my calculator: TI-35plus (so old many keys 
are rubbed bare of labels - good that I remember what they are).  Can 
I add my Post slide-rule to the list ;-)

My log is computerized (its a spreadsheet I manually make entries to 
- ha!).  I have no room to have a logging program running when I do 
eme - paper and pencil are simple - so is the eraser!

Regarding my wife:  Her (old duo-core P4 got so slow, I offered to 
rebuild it for her).  But she went and bought a new i7 laptop before 
I got it rebuilt and that is what she uses.  The rebuilt desktop is 
left turned off.  She probably does 70-80% of her time using the 
ipad-3 (face-time and e-mail, oh and puzzles).  Like I said what 
would she use a new desktop, for?  If she gets a new desktop, I will 
seize the old desktop for doing something (dedicated 
auto-tracker?  making coffee?).

She has a Kindle-Fire (I got the old original Kindle - which is used 
more than she uses the fire).

I just went thru FL-digi changing several macros for specific eme 
scripts.  I am going to use it for keyboard CW when doing CW-eme (I 
verified I could copy CW audibly when the K3 is in DATA-A mode - 
required by FL-digi).

The dusty shelf hold my Pac-Bell P100 40MB win95 and an old Dell 
desktop (upgraded to 512MB and XP32).  Both probably headed to 
recycle.  I'll keep the old IBM thinkpad P90 since it has a working 
FD drive and add-on DVD.  The thinkpads do not radiate any EMI/RFI.
