Owen, The power limitations of a portable computer are mainly due to the energy-consuming display. Having had the companionship of same for over a year, now, I'd say the price is well worth it. Mostly, the way I've been using RCT is to plug into the AC and running on battery when there is no power available (certain houses in the stix, piano in middle of stage, etc.). Since I also have a spare, fully-charged battery in my case, I'll sometimes tune all day on battery power alone, if time is pressing, and then recharge at home (some aural tuning required). I don't yet have the capability of recharging in the car but that would be the way if you like the idea of going cordless. In the future, remembering that the only problem I've had with the Powerbook is the DC connector, I plan on getting the auto charger so that I can recharge between tunings. Good luck on making the right choice. Tom -- Thomas A. Cole RPT Santa Cruz, CA
