<pre wrap="">At any hamfest you can pick up good fast color laptops
now for under $25. Even with a bad hard-drive, (these
are usually $5 or less) you can make APRSdos run from
only a single bootable floppy (with only your local maps).
Just let it sit in the corner giving you a nice view of your
local APRS RF network and let IT be vulnerable to lightening
strikes, not your big PC...
