No point hanging about. Should have all the stuff come thursday.

WRT the ongoing conversation, can I say that there is merit in both options.
As an Irish coach driver on a 7 day tour of England, I could take the
laptop, plan the following days route, load it into the pda, and leave the
laptop with the courier. This is getting more and more
complicated..originally I just wanted to use my GPS 12 with my laptop.
Obviously for safety's sake, the setup would be the kind of article that
could be consulted at rest stops, or manned by another crew member, of
course I don't intend to refer to a laptop screen on the road. However, a
pda with voice prompts would be useful in a city environment, be it London
or Dublin. I don't know if the 3630 will be up for this, but I intend
having fun finding out

I am just going to play this by ear, set up the pda, set up the laptop.
it's a learning process for me, and one which I intend to enjoy, and share
with you guys.

appreciate the replies..watch this space

Colin
