I'm sorry Marshall but I really don't understand the first part of your
question. Could you rephrase it please. As for prices, you can get used
laptop real cheap. With your impairment, I'm not sure if pocket PC would
be a good choice.

Hi Marcel,=20
I'd like to have tune lab or something for pitch raising to get me in
the ball p ark.  I'm curious, if one uses a lap top to tune, what is
used in order to pick up the noes pitch, laid on the pins to pick it up?
Are lap tops cheaper in price than pocket pcs?
Marshall

Hi Marshall,

TuneLab is probably the least expensive program you can get to tune. The
nice thing about it is that it is a very light program (it does not need
a super fast processor). So, you can probably get a used laptop and run
it.=20

I know I'm not going out and buying and ETD right away, but I was
wondering what size font the print is. ie. 10 12 etc.  Since I use the
city bus system, the smaller ones woule be a better match for me ,but
depending on the print.  I can see the red light on the spinner pretty
well. Are they pretty much the same in price, tune lab, verituner etc.
I know the Acutuner III is in the neighborhood of 1700$=20
