My experience is limited to the Palm. I'm an earlier user-the first being with the first Palm Pilot. My point about PocketPC's crashing and shorter battery life was from several articles I've read. My Palm IIIC has never crashed since I got it over a year ago. It's good that RCT for the Pocket PC can be installed from a Mac, and can trade tuning files with RCT/Mac. Of course the big difference is that with a Palm, everything else can be synced, whereas you'd have to go through a cludge to sync with a Mac. Al that said, I think it's a great idea to port RCT to the PocketPC! -- Glenn Grafton Grafton Piano & Organ Co. 1081 County Line Rd.
