AviSys 4.7? has an add-on module you can purchase that will allow you to upload field data via Palm handhelds using its somewhat cumbersome import utility & a database program on your Palm called J-File. I bought it last year, and to tell the truth, I just can't break a years-long habit of taking notes on a small pad or my nature journal. As for bird song, why listen to a reproduction when the real thing is right there? It's the only way to truly learn the varied dialects and nuances of song & call. Having Mr. Dodge along also helps tremendously. Unless you're tone deaf. ********************* Frank Boyle Laurel, MD ravenfrank@earthlink.net ********************* -----Original Message----- From: Maryland Birds & Birding [mailto:MDOSPREY@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM]On Behalf Of Steve Huy Sent: Friday, May 04, 2001 3:04 PM To: MDOSPREY@HOME.EASE.LSOFT.COM Subject: Re: [MDOSPREY] hand held computers CD player, pencil and a pocket sized spiral bound notebook serve this purpose. Take Kevin Dodge along and he's got the calls stored in his head and can produce them on command, allowing the CD player to be left behind. Your power source will last, on average, about 70 years, 80 for women, although the memory can be faulty as early as 40 years. ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= ======================================================================= To leave the MDOsprey list, send e-mail to listserv@home.ease.lsoft.com with the following message in line 1: signoff mdosprey ======================================================================= =========================================================================
