tune. The
nice thing about it is that it is a very light program (it does not need =
a super
fast processor). So, you can probably get a used laptop and run it.

out and
buying and ETD right away, but I was wondering what size font the =
print is.
ie. 10 12 etc. Since I use the city bus system, the smaller ones =
woule
be a better match for me ,but depending on the print. I can see =
the red
light on the spinner pretty well. Are they pretty much the same in =
price, tune
lab, verituner etc. I know the Acutuner III is in the =

1700$ </FONT></DIV>
