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.
Regards,
Wes
