And we love our Luddites!

Yes, we do prefer electronic logs, but we have not abandoned the folks who still like to work on paper.

Even now, many mobile Ops like to log on paper.

We even have some suspenders and belt Ops that send their logs in on paper, email, and disc. About the only thing we discourage is floppy discs, because drives are getting harder and harder to find. I have one machine left, and it runs Linux.

The problem isn’t that WB3W doesn’t generate a cab file or summary sheet. I use it mobile for the extra large fonts, and it works FB.  Bob’s problem is that his computer and/or program isn’t happy when he goes to save it. On that matter, I’m not certain what the problem is. But there have been a number of Windows updates that have played havoc with a lot of programs recently.
