Blatent commercial endorsement

[pmc033 at earthlink.net]

I'll add my experience with my SAT I.  I've had mine since 1988, when I
first started in the piano business.  I've replaced the battery pack 4 or 5
times or more, last done 2 years ago by the Sandersons. At that time, I
also had them replace the buttons and face of the unit and install a new
mic.   I've lost count how many times I've dropped it.  IT HAS NEVER FAILED
ME, EVER.  I had another ETD for a few months, which I later sold, and went
back to my trusty old SAT.  The ETD was ok, though I had a hard time
adjusting to the display.  I found I preferred the SAT lights, which are
brighter and easier to read than the computer screen.  The battery life on
the SAT is 10 times better than in the Pocket PC I had. ( I liked to use
the backlight all the time, so that's not so surprising).  Although some
day I may go to the SAT III, for now I don't feel the need.  
I like having a dedicated machine. Like my Timex, it just keeps on tickin'.


Consider this a shameless plug for ol' Al & Sons.
