Curt,

 From the very git-go, flat-panels have to be a step improvement. They 
don't have the HV associated
with CRT displays. CRT displays have a lot of wire point-to-point 
conductors, noisier than circuit cards.

Laptops would have to be quieter, too. Smaller-area circuit cards with 
intermediate power levels. And a laptop can be moved about on a desk 
easily to get more distance between the CPU and the radio & loop.

Wish't your thoughts had gone through my mind when I got 
(12/26/2004...look at what Santa Claus came through with) a Compaq from 
Sam's Club. A laptop would almost certainly been a better choice.

Dern, Santa Claus did it again! Blame it on him!

Have done a fresh round of thinking about the Wobbler. This is still 
bizarre.

OH MY, a story is coming on. Some one please tie me down!

This would have been like rats to Ronald F Schatz. He would somehow come 
up with some data.

I wonder how many amongst us know of Ron actually going to Cuba, getting 
taken into detention by Ministry of ??? personnel, and managing to get 
out of that one?
