Andre,

Truth be told, today was a kind of liberating experience.  I often tune=20
strictly aurally because I like to be able to do it for aforementioned reaso=
ns.  I=20
even did a couple of pitch raises today, and they came out surprisingly good=
.

The handheld is a handy tool, and it can make life easier, but it's nice to=20
know that it isn't an absolute necessity.  A relief, actually.  The thing I=20
miss most is the calendar.  My handwriting sucks.
