I'd use linux, but that limits the PC apps. Probably not very well Those are pretty old machines. The advantages are that it's cheap, and very small. You don't need a lot of horsepower to run SeaClear. Mine was set up to automatically start SeaClear on bootup. The biggest advantage of an older computer on a sailboat is that it draws less power. I have a Panasonic toughbook, which is absolutely great, except it draws a lot more power than my RADAR and Chartplotter, combined. You can, however, dump as much coffes as you like on it without doing any harm. That's why you see them in so many police vehicles. I only use it to plan and create routes to upload to the chartplotter, and to check weather and email when in port. |

New VHF
I've been thinking about getting a HAM... .... .... Here are two good freebies: http://www.qrz.com http://www.eham.net/exams/ This one is also useful, if I recall... http://ae9pw.com It does the commercial too.... Brian Whatcott Altus OK Thanks for your suggestions. You are most welcome. I should mention that the practice tests don't necessarily jump out of the URLs For QRZ.com, you can find Practice Tests down the page in the left side column of picks. Brian W |
