I've used RCT on a laptop for 7 years or so. I think I got it just 
_before_ it was available on Palm/Pocket/etc. ;-{ ,but never felt the 
need to switch over to the smaller format.  I'm too cheap to replace 
something which is working, my whole office is with me and the munchkins 
(and I) like my vacation slide show screen saver when I'm not using the 
tuning program. ;-}

I did knock it off a console, once, but all I lost was the :; key. No 
big loss. About the only thing I use is the touchpad, anyway.


Re: Aural over-ruling the program.

As I understand, every program (certainly RCT) is written with certain 
assumptions and interpolations.  If you can't aurally discern and deal 
with discrepancies betwixt interpolations and idiosyncratic reality, you 
are doing the piano, customer and yourself a disservice and deserve the 
Steinway curse.

My 1.2¢.
