[SixClub] Windows on Mac

[KBØNLY]

If you haven't had a PC since 2005 no wonder you don't know much about the 
newer Windows or PC's...  Blue screens and lockups?  Must have been a crappy 
PC, I haven't had a blue screen since.... Hmm... I need to sit and think 
about that.  I think the last time I saw a bluescreen on my computers was 
back in the windows 98 days?  Hold on, I might have had one once on XP from 
a bad stick of memory, hardly Microsofts fault though.

A lot of ham software is available for Linux, that’s a good option actually! 
You could get a Raspberry Pi and run that, I know guys that do everything on 
it, from PSK to SSTV to the latest digital modes.  Getting a sound card 
working on it is the hardest part.

I have started using FreeDV on HF, two PCI-Express soundcards and a quality 
headset along with my homebrew radio interface and I was on the air in a 
matter of minutes, Windows 7 plays quite nicely with multiple soundcards.  I 
have one dedicated to the radio interface.

73,

Scott KBØNLY

Thanks for all the comments gang!  I see I have a lot of thinking to do. 
After years of fighting "the blue screen of death",constant lock-ups and all 
the other issues common to Bill Gates Edsel I moved to Mac in 2005 and like 
the old saying goes...."once you've had Mac.you never go back". Sadly way 
too many software writers have drank the microsoft "kool-aid".

I guess the next thing is to see how many ham software programs will run on 
variations of Linux or other OS.
Thanks again!
