Paul, the one thing I would watch is your time in CT. I have always had
trouble with the time in CT slowing down no matter what version of
Windows I was using. The PC clock remained accurate, but CT always
lost time for me under Windows. I have a seperate PC for logging and
general ham radio use that is running 95, so I can reboot to "dos only
mode". I hope your ME works well with CT. This pc is running Win
2k, and it great for windows programs, but doesn't run Dos programs
worth a hoot. At least for me.
