Here we go again too much time at home, I have been thinking about if I am smart enough to use one of these or not and had been contemplating buying one for a few months, found today fairly reasonable on E-BAY so next week when it arrives I will again get a thorough chewing out.

I tried using one before. They're unusual and require getting accustomed to the key layout. It's worth doing though because there's so much good data at hand, available without firing-up the computer
Ordered last thurs delivered today 6 days later. It is a nice piece and does functions that I have never even heard of plus many I am familiar with but probably never learn how to use it to it's full potential. It is definitely not one of the needed items for a beginner and most likely not even myself. Oh well I have it now. tom
Tom,

It's another tool so you must need it. Big Grin

Better to have a tool and not need it than to have the need and no tool, or something like that.

Close enough. Big Grin
It's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it.

I bought the cheap version without all the extras, on sale for about $15 IIRC. I don't know how to use the "extras" anyway. If I did, I shouldn't need them in the first place, right? Rotfl

Mine works, I just don't know if I am smart enough to get it to work for me. tom
