<html><body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"><div>Hello</div><div><br></div><div> Yes , 64 gig.</div><div><br></div><div> In the big picture it is cheap........</div><div> Anything used daily, that daily saves time and money is cheap.</div><div>My cell phone and data together use to regularly be over 100 per month,</div><div>Now it's 43 a month. That is 720 per year in savings. Over a 4 year? life</div><div>Of the device almost $3000 in savings over past expenses.......pays for the</div><div>Devise plus perhaps some software....perhaps verituner will get added to the kit.</div><div><br></div><div> I do like Tunelab......but after seeing how master exam tunings follow stringing</div><div>Scale, and the magnitude and pattern of variations from a smooth cure, I sure </div><div>Am tempted by the concept of a machine that listens to all partials, fitting</div><div>each note's scaling and inharmonic properties into calculations, instead of generating</div><div>An average curve from 5 sample notes, regardless of stringing scale.</div><div><br></div><div> Tunelab is a wonderful tool. I've had it memorize many tweaked customized tunings </div><div>For my regular concert instruments. I wish verituner had a trial version......would have tried it</div><div>Long ago. I suspect I would like it.</div><div><br></div><div> One of the things I like about Tunelab is it speaks my language. The graph shows deviations in cents from a pure 6:3 or 4:2 curve and I've learned what my favorite graphs look </div><div>Like. Another program uses stretch 3 or 4 or 5 etc., and that means nothing to me.....</div><div>Flatlining relative to a pure 6:3 curve with a little roll off in the lowest bass tells me something.</div><div><br></div><div> I ramble........</div><div> Love the technology, because it finally compliments the tuning, admin, maps, communication, In practical, meaningful, time saving ways in real time on the road.</div><div><br></div><div> Cheers</div><div> Dave Renaud</div><div><br></div><div><br>Sent from my iPad</div><div><br>On 2011-12-18, at 4:51 PM, John Ross <<a href="mailto:jrpiano@eastlink.ca">jrpiano@eastlink.ca</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><div></div><blockquote type="cite"><div>Hi Dave,<div>Obviously you have 3G.</div><div>Did you go for the 64 Gig as well?</div><div>John Ross</div><div>Windsor, Nova Scotia<br><div><div>On 18-12-2011, at 5:12 PM, David Renaud wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div>I use an iPad.<br><br>Navfree Canada is a free GPS, works great.<br><br>Invoice to go, a $5 app, creates custom bills, numbers them, adds up my sales taxes, <br>And produces reports.
