Hi Lance, Hmmm... I don't think so. The computer has a 2.3 GHz Core2 Duo processor and 2 GB of RAM. As I said, but not clearly enough, I gave up on the LP-Pan (for now anyway) so it wasn't running. The only thing running was whichever RTTY/log software and Firefox, which I use for looking at Internet spots. Since in some of these contests I was in an unassisted category, even that wasn't always open.
