Kris:

I'm in there with you as somewhat mentally-challenged, and therefore biased 
toward the Perkins.

I will say, though, that the more contesting I do, the more I get used to 
the idea of listening to the radio, and working with Jaws as I get contact 
info for a given station.

One of these days, I'm just going to take the leap and try logging for one 
of our nets using Jaws and notepad, but I have to get a little  more brave 
than I am now, I guess.  (grin)
