With respect & without any wish to inflame the debate, I do believe 
you're being a tad harsh on Chris, G3SJJ.  (Never thought I'd type those 
words.)  On reading your note, I too believed you were saying computer 
logging was a requirement.  I'm not sure how to otherwise interpret the 
following statement:

"The RSGB CCs were designed to replace the QRS Cumulatives, and are the least complicated of the present contests on offer.  But the present system imposes an immediate limitation on a complete newbie. This is the Cabrillo file entry.  Even if the newbie has the wit to find out what a Cabrillo file is, he/she needs a computer to log."
