[NA-User] Computer help

[Ralph Parker]

I keep an older desktop computer (P-II) in the shack for all my logging and
control purposes, including a W9XT contest card (runs W-98-II, and has the
complete Dos 6.2 if needed). They are almost free these days. I've seen
them sitting by the curb on my junk pickup days. Nobody wants them.
A new desktop computer is connected to the internet for other matters.

Older laptops are cheap too, if you can put up with the port limitations
(only one of each).
