<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hi Marcel, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I'd like to have tune lab or something for pitch =
raising

tune,
what is used in order to pick up the noes pitch, laid on the pins to =
pick it
up? Are lap tops cheaper in price than pocket pcs?</FONT></DIV>

to 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.

<DIV><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I know I'm not =
going 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
neighborhood of 1700$ </FONT></DIV>
