Sat, 3 Apr 2004 05:58:17 -0500

I've used a number of contest loggers over the years and Logic is by far =
the
worst!!! Brad, if you enjoy contesting, try one of the free loggers such =
as
N1MM... There is a learning curve associated with them, but you will =
quickly
learn why nobody who is serious about contesting uses Logic for that
purpose.
