<div>Michelle,</div> <div> </div> <div>I have had a X51V for six months and I never have to wait for it to come on. When I push the on button it comes on instantly. Do you mean that PRCT takes time to come up? If that is so then you need to set your processor speed to the highest setting. It doesn't use up the battery much faster and it does improve performance.</div> <div> </div> <div>Robert Mihlfeld</div> <div>Farmington, Mo.<BR><BR><B><I>Michelle Smith <michelle@smithpianoservice.com></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">Paul,<BR><BR>I've had a Dell Axim X51v for almost a year now and have been very pleased.<BR>The battery gets me through the day and PRCT runs very nicely. <BR><BR>My only complaint about the Dell (and this may be an issue with all pocket<BR>PCs--the Dell is my first) is that when you turn it on, it takes a few<BR>seconds to get started.
