I want to express my appreciation to everyone who provided thoughts and suggestions about computers and displays in the radio room. I was quite surprised and gratified by the response I got.
There were several things to consider I had not, and some very good tips which will help a lot in making a good decision. Shows the value of the collected wisdom these lists encompass.
Now, what I really need from you all next, is some cash...which is as good as money (Yogi). ;-)
Thanks a lot,
Curt

Subject: [IRCA] Computers and displays
I notice some list members apparently use computers in fairly close proximity to their receivers. I have been wondering if LCD/flat-panel displays are less noisy than CRT display. Also, if laptops tend to be more or less noisy than desktop computers.
I'm beginning to think timed recording ability, real-time signal processing capabilities, and on-line access are worth considering the addition of a computer to my radio paraphernalia. That raises the question of advantages between the mentioned alternatives.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
