Hi ED: You can still buy a brand new computer and outfit it to run CT DOS. Both
Gateway and Dell still offer ISA PCI cards. It is my understanding that these
cards will be available for another 2 years. When Microsoft finally gets its
act together and Vista becomes the standard those cards will disappear. Most of
the time I use CTWIN. CT DOS is a luxury for me. I only use it anymore when I
don't want to contend with Windows.

Yes, this is the CT USER mail list, meant for discussions amongst CT
users. It is not meant for personal attacks or general discussions
about radio contesting or DXing. In my personal opinion, CT is what
is today and the likelihood of it changing is slim. Many users have
transitioned to either WinTest or N1MM, both of which are windows
based logging programs. Personally, I can appreciate the simplicity
of operation of DOS CT. However, unless you maintain the aging
hardware that it runs on, you will soon be out of luck unless you
don't plan on using any peripherals with CT, such as CW keying,
computer control, or networking. I am not here to argue the merits
of any of the computer programs and that is really not what the list
is intended to be. You can investigate them for yourself and join
their mailing lists to find out all about them. Country files and
master databases will continue to be updated for CT because they
became industry standard files used in other programs. I can say
that CT is still used in some of the well known stations, so it has
not been totally abandoned. Please keep the discussions on track on
the list. If you want to contact Ken directly with bugs or program
improvements, there is a web form on www.k1ea.com. If you are still
only using DOS for your computing, you probably won't be able to access this.
