Hi all; >For myself, I'm 46, and am near-sighted. With glasses, my vision >is 20/20. Inside of a distance of two feet or so, things start to get blurry. >If I take off my glasses for close-up work, I'm back to 20/20. (Boy, it's hell >getting old). Anyway, my accessment of the screen is based on this viewpoint. I know what you mean, Dave, For me, same age and same problem >I used the Libretto and RCT for the first time today, tuning 4 pianos. I was a >bit apprehensive using it in the field having just installed the software the >night before and skimming thru the manual. >I was pleasantly surprised how easy the RCT was to use. Not to mention deadly >accurate. Not to mention downright fun. Has it got multimedia and faxmodem ? >. It does have a nifty feature, a magnifier window that you >can open and place over any area of the screen you like and magnifies the area >within about 5 times. By this comment I guess it comes with Windows 98......? >Now for the biggest drawback. A computer that small has got to have a small >keyboard, too small for touch typing. If you are counting on the Libretto to >double as an all 'round computer to use for word processing and such, I'm not >sure you would be happy with this one. But as a dedicated tuning machine, I >think it is the ideal RCT solution. As I donīt know the Libretto personally I would tell you to check the manual. The normal laptops can interface with an extra keyboard, mouse and monitor, if this one can, you just have to connect it when you get home to be more confortable.
