[Ham-Mac] quadra 630 software

[Carl Menne]

You know, I get REALLY tired of all the people who insist that everyone must
upgrade? their computer constantly !!!!
Just like a ten-year old car, the ten year old computer will STILL do
everything it could do when new.
And my 16K( not meg ) ram ,1 mHZ ,radio shack computer running a BASIC
program could decode and send morse code up to 50 wpm via the earphone and
key jacks of any good ham set ..
So could several other "home" computers of the early 1980s.
Not everyone needs/wants/can afford a new computer annually.

FYI, I started on the internet with a IIci and it was the websites move to
more graphics and newer,bigger browsers that forced me to change. For most
of my surfing the option to go faster with less graphics would be
great,especially since broadband is years away for this area.

I see the problem as being the people who have the programming skills don't
want to bother with the older computers because their owners aren't going to
pay much for any programs. So someone who writes/ has written a good program
for morse and/or rtty and or ? for the legacy machines must do it out of
generosity or stubbornness, and be willing to accept praise as payment.
