I believe so.  And if you filk you're a filker <g>.

Lower than that, believe me <g>.

No, I don't like coffee.  Come to think of it, I don't like what the
machine calls 'tea' either...

That's a task switcher, I take it?  DesqView is a proper pre-emptive
multi-tasker, and happily lets me run KA9Q at the same time as another
comms program on a different port (and phone line!)...

Aargh!  You mentioned the dreaded W word!  Theoretically I could run
KA9Q via a packet driver under DesqView, but I haven't got a dialer to
work with that reliably.  Not that I've tried much, it's probably quite
possible...
