Good Morning, 
 
I wish to make the following observations:
Laptops are more expensive than desktop computers. 
One can purchase PCI to serial cards for a desktop. 
I recently purchased a dual processor, 40 Gig HD, 4X graphic display with 
Dual display, 256Meg Ram, two 9 pin serial output, for $200 and added a
Sound card for less than $20.
 
This will work for me because I do not have a need to carry a computer with
me. 
 
What will I do with the rest of the money?  Buy the Guy wires for the new
tower
That is going up.
 
For the first time in my Ham Radio Career I will be able to run full power
into 
A 20 meter beam.  My first RTTY contact was in 72 – 20 mtr dipole in attic 
Worked Italy.
