Laptops vs ETD's

[James Grebe]

I have been using Cybertuner since Oct, '97 from the Mac, to the PC, to the
Dell Axim X-3.  I thought the smaller screen would be a problem due to my
poor eyesight.  But the higher clarity and resolution of the pocket PC more
than makes up for the size.  The important things to watch are not that much
smaller anyway and it is closer to your eyes.
