[CQ-Contest] RE: Line Scores

[Eric Hilding]

Gee, I guess I'm not grasping the big stink over Line Scores & printed 
publication vs. the Net.

With the costs of digital data storage constantly going down and the costs 
of printing going through the roof, it's no wonder that many newspapers are 
working overtime to divert readers to web-viewers.  IMHO, the "printed 
page' is doomed to extinction perhaps sooner than we realize.

Personally, I find the downloadable .csv files off the ARRL's website to be 
far more efficient for data evaluation and reconfiguration purposes in 
Excel or a Database (and there is no need to retype information) than from 
fine print in a magazine.  Especially so as my glasses just don't seem to 
work as well year after year.

In case no one has realized this yet, a web page can become a "printed 
page" with a click or two of the mouse :-)

And of course, BPL will make Line Score(s) viewing "online" so much faster 
(ooops, bad joke again).
