This all sounds a little surreal to me -- can I be the only person
who<br>
routinely runs TR Log in a DOS box under Wondows in CW contests and
is<br>
quite satisfied with the CW? Nothing exotic here -- a 200 MHz
Pentium MMX<br>
running Win 98 SE. If I'm serious about a contest, I go into Task
Manager<br>
and turn off all the non-essential background tasks, but if I'm
just<br>
fooling around I even leave my network running! At worst, in the
latter<br>
configuration, I have very occasional hiccups in the CW, but with a<br>
cleaned-up machine, none at all.<br>
