Greg, I know it can be a tough decision with the bewildering array of
stand-alone dedicated units available.

I have probably owned over 40 of them over the last 20 years so I know a little
bit about it.

Before I can advise you I need you to answer the following questions:

1. How strong do you need it to be (what is your rating)?

2. What physical size are you looking for
(pocket-size/portable/table-top/tournament size)?

3. Where will you use it (office/home/airport)

4. How much do you want to spend?

You can respond to me here or privately if you wish at dridge@idirect.com
