pocket pc

[Mark Schecter]

Hi, Dave.

I don't use a PDA (I use an iBook), but there are lots of people (way 
more than Macs, and more than PC laptops as well, I believe) using 
Pocket PCs very happily with CyberTuner and various database software 
for customers and appointments. It's a little trickier synching a PPC to 
a Mac than to a PC, though, trying to get a set of applications that 
works for you on both platforms. There may be a slick way, but I have 
avoided having to solve that problem because I am very happy with doing 
all my computing/tuning/web/email on a single reliable, virus-free 
MacOSX box, even if it weighs five pounds. I must admit having been 
tempted by the fly-weight, many-tunings-per-charge PPC, though.

I have no doubt you would be happy using RCT on the PPC. It's all the 
other non-RCT stuff that could be a pain. If you already have all your 
database stuff working on your Palm, you could get the PPC just for RCT, 
and continue as you are with everything else on the Palm. Carrying both 
is still less bulky than all but the flimsiest laptops.

Perhaps someone else can give you more specifics on synching and 
applications.

the CyperTuner Pocket PC software...are the Pocket PCs working well for 
techs on the List?   Someone had a problem with Time & Chaos and a 
Pocket PC.   I could always just get a better Palm device with color 
screen etc. and continue as I do...
