The Palms NEVER crash. > Hi Glenn, That's not my experience. Have you run a PocketPC for any length of time? I used a Palm for over a year, and a PocketPC for 8 months now. The PalmOS handheld crashed a number of times with several different shareware programs. On the other hand, my PocketPC has *never* crashed. PocketPC is built on a subset of Windows NT, it is VERY stable. It is a modern OS with real protected memory and premptive multitasking. You can't compare it to Windows 95/98/ME for stabiltiy. Don't get me wrong, I have lots of respect for the PalmOS handhelds, they are generally stable. Both PocketPC and PalmOS derive stablity from having the OS in ROM and not having a hard drive. But PalmOS lacks protected memory, so when one app goes down it can take the whole PalmOS system with it. BTW, since you're a Mac user; Pocket RCT will installable from a Macintosh computer, and can trade tuning files with RCT/Mac. We continue to support both Windows and Mac platforms. -Dean Reyburn ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dean L.
