[Elecraft] Windows Needed

[Don Wilhelm]

With refurbished desktop computers available in the $200 to $300 price 
range, many loaded with Windows 10 Pro, it is not a big deal to have a 
dedicated Windows PC as the shack computer.  Oh yes, you need a monitor 
too, but those also are not expensive.

That allows you to run a Mac or Linux machine for your other computing 
tasks.
