style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Well, it has happened to me again.
I dropped a tool on my Pocket PC Tuesday and destroyed the screen. This is
like the third or fourth one I’ve destroyed since I started using RCT. Of
course panic sets in as I realize that I still have 15 appointments left this
week. Anyone who has been through this knows there is no quick way to get up
and running with a new Pocket PC because of RCT’s inane copy protection
schemes. Of course they’ll get you a new code as soon as you remove the
program on your old unit. But then there is no way to do that with a destroyed
screen. That means you have to send the old unit back in before they’ll give
you a new activation code. To their credit, they’ll do that if you supply them
a tracking number as proof that you’ve returned it. Of course that would mean
buying a new unit, boxing up the old one, take it to UPS, get the tracking
number, get back home, then find someone on the end of a phone at RCT that can
get you the new activation code- all before the first morning’s appointment.
Not a chance. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Of course there is another small
detail I left out. Buying a new Pocket PC means a newer operating system,
which means a $230 upgrade charge to RCT to get the new activation code.

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">What I decided to do was use a
spare Pocket PC that my son had and download the Tune Lab software with fully
functional demo while I decided what to do about the RCT. Before the day of
tunings was over I was on the phone to Tune Lab and made my $340 purchase. I
love it. Plus I can port it to any other Pocket PC I want (that has my name as
the owner) without having to get a new activation code! No more
worries!!<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">It isn’t as idiot proof as RCT but
seems to be more functional. The learning curve was little steep, I thought,
but I like the tuning interface better than RCT. And the tunings sound
great (I’m using Coleman 11). Add in the much better price and the peace of
mind of being able to have a backup system- I’m so happy and just wanted to
tell you all about it!<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

from Ebay for my old unit. I think I’ll keep RCT as a back up.
