[Ham-Mac] Ham-Mac Digest, Vol 87, Issue 4

[John Merrill]

Boog:

I'm a big fan of Apple. I have a Macbookpro and use it for my radio other
than contesting. But I also have a PC with Windows7. Not much difference in
my opinion other than some malware and cost.  Better choices for ham Radio
programs on a PC. I'm not a fan of Linux. It' still a little too geeky,
IMHO. (My flame jacket is on). The mini would be a good choice if you
already have the peripherals.

73,
John N1JM
