[WriteLog] Wish & Bug List

[Richard Zalewski]

John,

I second all of your comments on some of the spots this weekend.  I had to
keep the full packet window open plus the packet spot window open so I could
see the comments but that is a pain.  I need a 30" monitor.  Anyone who
cares to share screen prints of their wl screens for the contest I would be
happy to send mine.
