OK Greg.  Yeah, Elmer.  This hobby has bled members for years, and for 
me it's largely been on the "maybe when I'm retired" back burner since 
computers took over most of my tech-time.  They probably should update 
that name, maybe something like Code Bitch.  No, wait, I believe they've 
done away with most if not all of the code.  I'm sure sombody will think 
of something to put the crackle back.

Actually, and somewhat more seriously, there are a number of very 
interesting current operational modes that meld computing with amateur 
radio that have some potential to reach over the dividing line.

Finally, radio is a lot like computers except that instead of ones and 
zeros, there's all those messy little voltage potential differences in 
between...
