[Dxbase] Thoughts from Joe WA6AXE - abt DXbase's future

Sun May 22 13:51:44 EDT 2016

I'm sticking with it, too. I'm not (real) old, I'm just lazy. 😀 I don't want to start a new learning curve. I have a local friend that's still using a real old version, and that works for him. But I have to add my thanks to Joe for helping me so much in the past. You're a good man, Joe. Bless you.
