Les,

Yeah, I wasn't crazy about electronic tuning when I started with my RCT
some months ago, but as you might suspect, it is growing on me.  I also
think I'm going to like it even better as I learn new techniques of
refinement.  SAT and RCT both have their advantages.  I like the wealth
of features and flexibility of RCT, but the size, weight and battery
life of the SAT III are certainly strong points.  Nevertheless, I use a
Sony VAIO, which weighs 3 pounds, is less than an inch thick, and slips
into the side of my soft-sided Genck case (the old one, not the one
which has a special computer compartment).  I don't even have to open
the case to take out the computer.
