Started 45 minutes late after somehow frying COM1 and LPT1 
(not to mention the modem and the A drive!) on my aging main 
computer (486).  First hour after that was good, but the next
5 or so seemed to be abnormally slow.  Perhaps activity was
just spread out more than usual.  Caught up reasonably well
once 40 caught fire and ended the night feeling like there was
still a chance.

One hour into Sunday AM, more problems with the rig keying 
forced me to retire early.

Hope it was better for the rest of y'all!

73, Dan, K1TO
