SAT Update

[Jonathan Finger]

Phil, 
If it's any help, I used an SAT II, then an SAT III for several years
(collectively), and just recently switched to PocketRCT after having
used Palm Pilots and PocketPC's for the last few years.  I've been very
pleased with the caliber of work as compared to the SAT III, and find it
very easy to use.  It's much the same as the SAT, but the auto note
switch works a bit better in my opinion.  :)

Jonathan,

I'm familiar with the PocketPCs, notebooks, verituners etc., but I'm
comfortable with the SAT and know they will someday be upgrading or go
the
way of the Strobotuner.  I was just thinking (collectively) of what
features
I and others would like them to consider when/if they upgrade.
