<div> Ditto to all these gentlemen have said about etds on a computer, especially a pocket PC or Palm. I can't imagine anyone that could get more use out of a pint-sized computer than a piano tech.</div>

<div dir=ltr align=left><SPAN class=375562302-03122006><FONT face=Garamond color=#800000>Reyburn CyberTuner has a spectrum analyzer (called Pianalyzer, for laptop and pocket pc) and has had it for years. I have heard good things about TuneLab and it is cheaper than RCT or Verituner. I have used RCT for 8 years and I know first hand that it is a superb tuning program. I would not want to go back to SAT (3 years) or aural (15 years). If I didn't already own RCT, I would definitely check out TuneLab.</FONT></SPAN></div>

<div>Avery has mentioned "laptops" a couple of times. Forget schelping a laptop, my ETD travels in my pocket, litereally. Get a pocket PC--even a brand new one PLUS Tunelab would be cheaper than buying any of the ETD machines.</div>
<div>Again, I'm not knocking any of them, they're all great. I just heartily endorse TL and recommend people at least consider it as, bang-for-buck, the best deal around. It has every capability as others, far as I know, and the fantastically useful spectrum analyzer that none of the others have.</div>
<div>Maybe some people look down on TL because it does cost so much less--the old "perceived value" psychology. But Bob's try-it-for-free policy is inspired because he KNOWS you'll like it a lot if you do. And that's the old "test drive" automobile sales psychology.</div>
<div>Now that you've bought a pockt PC you can:</div>
<div>Use it for your schedules</div>
<div>Communicate with the world</div>
<div>Take notes, write letters</div>
<div>It's a calculator, a calendar, an address book, etc...</div>
<div>Play a jillion different games (I have Sudoku, chess, and Scrabble)</div>
<div>And a whoooooooole lot more.</div>
<div>So ... what was that reason for buying a VT or SAT box, again?</div>
<div>Just my humble (okay, maybe not) and possibly controversial opinion.<br>

<div align=left><FONT size=3>And since I'm planning on retiring from the university at the end of next May, I'm even considering <br>
buying a Verituner. The SAT I'm using right now, the university bought. It still has the original <br>
battery. But since I was an aural tuner for 25+ yrs., and I've read some great things about the VT, <br>
I'm definitely considering it. I don't have a laptop and don't really want to lug one around. <br>
