[Ham-Mac] stick with the pioneers

Tue, 13 Apr 2004 08:04:46 -0400

One more voice agreeing with THAT. I HATE having to fight with Windows for
any uses, and ham radio is the only one I am still forced to. I would MUCH
rather be doing everything on a Mac. I can't stand the fact I have to resort
to keeping a Windows laptop alongside it and reactivate it every week when
Windows forgets I paid for it.

The last thing this list of all places needs to do is alienate the very guys
doing their best to keep us out of that pit. Sure, even I have occasionally
cheered a PC program or two that works well for me, but always while whining
about how much I hate having to use a PC at all, and how much I prefer
sticking with the Mac alternative.

It must be frustrating enough trying to make a living writing for an
admittedly small market share platform, let's not make it miserable for them
on top of that.
