[Ham-Mac] ARRL Poll

[Rick Prather]

Reminds me of the time that I decided to buy a non-iPod music player  
because I liked the features of the other device better.  Well, after  
over a week, and an essentially ruined vacation, spent installing  
software on the PC upgrading firmware, installing updated software  
again, etc. mixed in with the Windows and Norton upgrades and all the  
accompanying reboots I finally got it working, sort of.

Then, I decided I had had enough screwing around with it and bought  
the iPod I should have bought in the first place. Brought it home and  
in about ten minutes on the mac,  I was all done.  boring!

Now if someone would pick up the ball with Echomac and add conference  
mode and alarms I would never have to turn the darned PC on!

Which reminds me, has anyone tried  EchoLinux on the Mac or the Unix  
version if there is one and does it have those features or is it  
"bare-bones" like the Mac version.

Don't get me wrong I like Echomac and use it a lot but do miss those  
two features.
