[WriteLog] laptop gave up the ghost-os question please

[Ron NØAT]

Dave,

At our 5JØA operation we used a Vista laptop and a Windows 2000 laptop. 
Writelog worked great.

We had one problem, not related to Vista or Writelog.  Our 160 meter 
antenna was located just a few feet from our operating position.  When 
we transmitted on 160 meters the Toshiba computer running Vista would 
shut down.  We rebooted, restarted Writelog and everything was back to 
normal.  It took just a few seconds for the logs to sync up again.

Hello, greetings to all, hope this finds you well.

Not a gripe at all about Writelog.  I have an old HP laptop running ME 
that
decided to stop and do nothing else. It ate a drive and has a new one. 
I am
not impressed with HP laptops. I have lots of blinking lights.  Lots of
blinking lights and no display or boot makes me want to change brands. 
I
have a nice HP printer, I am crossing my fingers.

In a week, I am going up to the Sierra to give it a go in the 10 meter
contest.

Good that it failed before I go up.

So, tomorrow is Sunday and the specials come out.

Can Writelog run on the latest version of Bill's dream, Vista?

Do they still make laptops that have serial connectors?

I promise to give it a good freeze test,  as temps are below freezing 
where
I am going.

Any recommendations?

Best regards and happy holidays from Dave, NC6P in San Francisco
