Hmm, I thought it was pretty clear I was making a joke when I talked
about making the screen look like a vintage radio. OTOH, check out the
SteamPunk movement. They are doing some really cool retro looking
things using modern technology.

Uh, don't most of the logging programs already do that? I know that I
use Aether on my Mac when connected to the K2. All I have to do is
click new log entry and type in the call and name. When running
digital modes I just highlight the call and it even grabs that.
