Re: [WriteLog] Hard Drive Failure, THANKS

Ron,

Believe it or not, I still have sitting here in one of the desk drawers 
below my VHF rigs, all the cassette tapes that allowed me to store data and 
programs for my first computers. There is the whole operating system and a 
ham radio program that allowed my to do CW and RTTY on a Motorola 6809 
computer. HI

In the true ham spirit, I just have never thrown them away.
