  Hi Joe,
  I've been looking at these, but they don't seem to have an internal =
microphone.  Do you have to attach a mic when you use it?

    Rich,
    My current machine is an older Sony VAIO 505TS.  Size is 10.2" x =
0.87" x 8.2". At 2.69 lbs it finds a home just about anywhere on a =
piano, on a bench, chair, coffee table, floor,  anywhere. If you can =
find one of these machines reconditioned I believe it will be well worth =
the price of usually less than $900. I never rely on the battery as =
using the customers electricity with an .89 cent extension cord serves =
me well. I'm curious as to why so many electronic tuners find it =
necessary to want their machines located right on top of them? They work =
just fine a few feet away if it makes it more convenient to place them =
that way  for a given piano. Sometimes you have to move them around just =
to get a reading anyhow, so strapping one down with a cumbersome gizmo =
just doesn't seem handy to me.

    Of course we're all still  * w a i t i n g * for RCT to be available =
in a handheld computer. Seems like the next logical machine for me. I'd =
put my beer down and go out in the shop to weigh my COMPAQ  iPAC  pocket =
pc on the gram scale, but it sure couldn't be very much. Now that will =
be portability and convenience!

      I'm currently running RCT on a 15" Sony Vaio FX370 laptop and wish =
to
      find a smaller weight and screen size laptop for it. I wish to =
stay with
      the PC Windows systems. Your suggestions please?
      PCG-SR33K has been suggested. or the SR17.

      What is you favorite place to put the laptop when tuning?
      Have you invented a bracket that works?
