 ## What and why is Not1MM
 
+### The elephant in the room
+
 Not1MM's interface is a blatant ripoff of N1MM. It is NOT N1MM and any problem
 you have with this software should in no way reflect on their software.
 
-If you use Windows(tm), you should run away from Not1MM and use someother
-program.
+### The What
+
+Not1MM attempts to be a useable amateur radio, or HAM, contest logger. It's
+written in Python, 3.9+, and uses Qt6 framework for the graphical interface
+and SQLite for the database.
+
+### Target Environment
 
-I personally don't use Windows(tm). While it may be possible to get N1MM working
-under Wine, I haven't checked. I'd rather not have to jump thru the hoops.
+The primary target for this application is Linux. It may be able to run on other
+platforms, BSD, Mac and Windows. But I don't have a way, or desire, to directly
+support them.
 
-**Currently this exists for my own personal amusement**. Something to do in my
-free time. While I'm not watching TV, Right vs Left political 'News' programs,
-mind numbing 'Reality' shows etc...
+### The Why
+
+**Currently this exists for my own personal amusement**. I've recently retired
+after 35+ years working for 'The Phone Company', GTE -> Verizon -> Frontier.
+And being a Gentleman of Leisure, needed something to do in my free time.
+I'm a casual contester and could not find any contesting software for Linux that
+I wanted to use. There is [Tucnak](http://tucnak.nagano.cz/) which is very robust
+and mature. It just wasn't for me.
+
+### General logging
+
+In short... Don't. There are much better general purpose QSO logging programs.
+Try QLog or CQRLog.
 
 ## Current state
 
-The current state is "**BETA**". I've used it for a few contests, and was able
-to work contacts and submit a cabrillo at the end. I'm not a "Contester". So
-I'll add contests as/if I work them. I'm only one guy, so if you see a bug let
-me know. I don't do much of any Data or RTTY operating. This is why you don't
-see RTTY in the list of working contests. The Lord helps those who burn people
-at the... I mean who help themselves. Feel free to fill in that hole with a pull
-request.
+### Code maturity
 
-![main screen](https://github.com/mbridak/not1mm/raw/master/pic/main.png)
+The current state is "**BETA**".
+
+I've used it for quite a few contests, and was able to work contacts and submit
+cabrillos at the end. There are still quite a few features I'd like to implement.
+And "BETA" is a sort of get out of jail free badge for coders. A safety net for
+when the program craps the bed. I'm only one guy, so if you see a bug let me know.
+
+### Data and RTTY
+
+I don't do much of any digital or RTTY operating. This is why you don't see RTTY in
+the list of working contests. The Lord helps those who burn people at the... I
+mean, who help themselves. Feel free to fill in that hole with a pull request.
+
+### Other not so supported contests
+
+Of note, state QSO parties. I haven't worked any yet. And no one has submitted a PR
+adding one... So there you go. In the near future I'll probably add California, guess
+where I live, and the 4 states QSO party.
