[WriteLog] Rigexpert TI-8 issue

[Mark Klocksin]

Thom, glad you got it working.  

But…it sounds like it’s time to do something with that laptop. e.g., add memory, thoroughly scan it for maleware, or replace it.  No modern computer should take more than a few minutes to boot.  Also, many computer problems are fixed by rebooting.  I recommend rebooting weekly at a bare minimum.  I turn my computers off at night, except for the APRS i-gate desktop.
