Halpin" Subject: hand held computers MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit When I was in California last week I met someone who was using a hand held computer to keep his sighting records. When I inquired about what he had, he showed me that this system was capable of keeping daily, weekly, yearly and life records of his birding to include whether the bird was only heard or seen or both and the other details of the sighting. Moreoever, this sytem could play the bird sonds/calls. The computer was a Compaq (costing less than $200) but, unfortunately, I do not remember the model number or the software that he was using. But one of the things this system could do was to download songs/calls from his desktop computer and using that system compose a file of those species that might be the targets for a particular trip, loading them on a 15MB plug in memory chip. Is anyone using such a setup or familiar with the hardware and software for doing these tasks?
