[Ham-Computers] Re The Right Software

[W8DBF D.B. Fischer]

Keep in mind that you can not simply upgrade from MSIE version 5.0 and OE 
5.5 to version 6.0 "no" matter what OS you are using. Always use the 
versions of software "written" for your operating system! When you do not, 
you have problems.

I have noticed many problems on this list due to precisely this issue. Pay 
attention to your system requirements. Know what applications are 'written 
for' that operating system and use them.

Some of you have a computer that was never designed to run the OS you are 
using. Doing this invites failures, problems and frustrations.

My personal philosophy: Never upgrade! If what you have does what you need, 
leave it alone! Newer is NOT always better! Faster is NOT always good!
