[RTTY] Is writelog still the best RTTY-contesting option?

Waooouhhh...
To be honnest I was expecting the topic to be a bit hot... but I was not
expecting such an avalanche in my email in-box...

Now... I am not gonna reply point by point to every "pro" and "anti": with N1MM
it's easy... download and try... if you don't like it just uninstall and buy
one of the available commercial product...
Just to say that here @f6irf, N1MM works (almost)perfectly with XP-home and
a cheap AMD 1.8G processor (although I am not a computer specialist)...
Also that I spent far less time to get N1MM running here at home, that it took
me to get one of their commercial competitor to work at our club-station...

Of course I also had some troubles with some of the daily upgrades, but once you
have found one which works, nobody forces you to upgrade... (especialy to
upgrade just before the contest start...)
Have now done 8 TTY contests with version 4 and never got any scoring problem,
nor rejected cabrillo...

As mentionned the only purpose of this post, was to give a "tribute" to Tom and
his team for the fantastic job they have done along the past few months: My
feeling is that they really brought their free product somewhere above their
commercial competitors...
But once again, it is my opinion, and only my opinion (at least I am sure that I
cannot be accused of having been bribed...)
Now if you are happy with what you have, I have no problem with this!
