[LOGic] Logic 9

 > What is it missing?

Incredibly slow... uses MS Jet (good DB but you need a fast computer and 
lots of memory)

For example... to import my ADIF log of about 25K records on my P4/2K 
vintage 2004.

DX4Win less than 10 seconds... image file... very fast but no locking 
semantics and lower data security.
Logic... about 4 minutes... Foxbase reasonably fast and secure.
DXKeeper... over an hour!... Jet... sloooowwwww but easy to access with 
MS tools.

Can't customize the input screen...

Can't print Custom QSL cards...

Doesn't list Membership data....

Doesn't extract QSL.Com data...

The biggest problem for me is I just couldn't fit the info I needed on 
my Monitor...

So DXLabs would cost me nothing for the software but $1000 for new 
hardware to run it ;-)

Don't interpret this as a slight against Dave's product... it's well 
worth the money... and Dave has put a lot of effort into it... but I 
actually prefer the Logger32 user interface. You can't please everyone...

I use his Pathfinder everyday. I use Commander to debug radio issues... 
and I might eventually use DXKeeper
