Well, we certainly need to examine the "bottle neck" and remove it... before

If we can't institute this "radical" idea here, we need to look at Canada,

When there are as many functional radios (or "cards") hitting the dumpster
as there are functional computers and related equip. (replaced with
upgrades) we will know the right idea has prevailed and radio has come

I hope you are kidding, John. That is the absolutely worst part of the
PC paradigm. Thousands of perfectly good electronics thrown out, often
made obsolete due to software that is bloated and poorly written (mostly
OS software. At least old radios are still useable

I would think there must be some EXCELLENT argument/reasoning serving as a

The PC paradigm is a poor one, and not to be emulated. PC's will
finally be mature when we don't have to replace them on almost a yearly
basis. At that point, software writers will be able to write good software.
