Fun = what provides amusement or enjoyment

After spending more time reading all the problems encountered with these 
"new fangled" software decoders, than I did operating, I can't really say 
that this should be considered a "spark to keep things fun"? I operate with 
v10.46G, Win98 and a KAMPlus. Why...because I have no interest in spending 
more time establishing that everything "should be working correctly", than I 
do operating. I'm a "plug and play" person, with computer experience 
extremely limited, and most of the "stuff" that I read, regarding getting 
this "new fangled" software working correctly, means absolutely nothing to 
me? I realize that some may have "grown up" using computers, but not the 
case for me. Therefore I subscribe to the "if it isn't broken, don't try to 
fix it" theory. It seems that every time that a new version of logging 
software comes out, there is more time spent discussing the problems that 
are being encountered, with the "latest/greatest" version, than there is 
spent in operating? I haven't been involved in RTTY contesting for 30+ 
years, but I still enjoy it to the extent that I want to. None of that 
enjoyment is spent "making sure everything is working correctly"! If/when 
that happens, my "fun" will be had, doing something else?
