[Ham-Mac] DXLab Web Client

Thu, 4 Dec 2003 09:41:19 -0500

just speaking for myself (who else WOULD i speak for?? <G>) DXLab seems 
like a great collection of dx/ham apps but they do NOT work together 
nearly as well as advertised, and they work clumsily with Virtual PC, 
at least in my experience. I tried installing the 'suite" on a very 
recent Sony Vaio with Windows 98, ME, 2000 and XP Home, never quite got 
all the modules to install or run properly, and the launcher never 
quite managed to communicate with each. I did system rebuilds with only 
DXLab - no luck. Virtual PC/G4 was as bad.. I finally gave up.

maybe I did something wrong but with all the attempts I made at clean 
installs, the odds were I'd accidentally get it to work. And back to 
why I like Mac better, it shouldn't BE that difficult, it should just 
work and should be IDIOT proof to some extent. Hell, it at least should 
LOAD!

on the other hand, Pathfinder web thing was neat!
