[Elecraft] suggested PC???

[Gary K9GS]

Hi Jerry,

Don't use a wired network.  I had my shack computer on a wired network 
when I took a lightning hit a couple of years ago.

Everything connected on the wired network was zapped (2 PCs, router, 
modem, K3 RS-232 port, WinKey (connected to one of the PCs), and the 
Cable TV amplifier located over 150 ft away out by the road.  When I 
rebuilt everything i went wireless with all of my PCs and have never 
regretted it.
