[ICOM] HRD-what is the attraction?

John,
It is the new generation that has no idea as to what is to
not have a computer that does all the work for them.

Subject: [ICOM] HRD-what is the attraction?

Everywhere I see Ham Radio Deluxe being metioned-in email posts, in QST
articles, on eham.net, and I have to wonder what is the attraction of
it?  I tried computer control a couple of years ago with a Kenwood
TS-B2000 and soon grew to hate it.  Tuning around with a mouse was
awkward at best.  I like a tuning knob to turn, and other buttons to
turn and push. SO what am I missing?  What makes computer control so
much better than physical control?  From the attention paid to HRD, it
seems that I am the only one who feels this way.
