[WriteLog] Laptops and WL

[Gary AL9A]

I'm running WL on a Dell Inspiron 1720 laptop with Vista Home Premium.  The 
built in sound card worked ok with WL, but did not register the 7F score.  I 
don't recall what it was at the moment.  Biggest problems were I couldn't 
get record-on-the-fly to work reliably and on CW there was the continuing 
problem of Windows processes running in the background that would cause CW 
distortion on send.  Finally bit the bullet and opted to spring for the 
microKEYER II and glad I did.  Absolutely great USB interface, does 
record-on-the-fly, no CW distortion on send, has its own internal memories 
for CW, RTTY and SSB, etc..  Only problems at the moment stem from the way 
Vista insists on controlling all the sound devices and mucking up the job!

73,
Gary AL9A
