[amsat-bb] Satellite Users on Macs

[David J. Schmocker]

Rick:
I ran Windows for 30+ years in industry because it's prevalent business 
platform (where I worked).  I still run Windows but only when I can not 
do the required task any other way.

I currently run Mac as preferred platform including MacDoppler (easy and 
the support is great).. MacLoggerDX (premier logging application).

Considering the volumes of emails we see on "can't get this or that to 
work on {name your application] for Windows," one could easily pay for a 
new Mac.

Also, you'll hear/discover Macs are expensive.   Data:  My 2009 
MacBookPro still runs great.  A $4,000 laptop divided across 11 years of 
trouble-free use (with no issues) and associating some value to my time 
(during which I was not doing Windows updates to my Mac), the Mac wins 
the cost/benefit analysis.

very 73,
