If your radio computers must be connected to the internet, as mine are for DX

It's a great idea NOW, as long as the OS is supported. I WANT updates,
but on MY schedule, not automatically. I have three Win7 machines, and
they all get updated when I get the on-screen alert to do so -- IF I'm
not in the middle of a contest or other operating activity. :)
When MS stops supplying security patches, the situation will become even worse.
I'll pay the extra support fee for my shack computer.
