Thanks for the tips - Actually the crashing doesn't bother me that much. I use a Thinkpad and it has tons of crap on it and is due for a rebuild. Those problems aside - i wonder what the IRIQ may legitimately offer that the Pronto can't. I bought it because of the software and programmability (power user for sure!) but I downloaded some CCFs and Prontoedit and the emulator and it really looks cool. (Ivan's CCF really blew me away!) I really think I could like the IRIQ - if I was more uninformed about the Pronto. I just wanted to see if there were some real advantages to the IRIQ that I was missing before I take it back and try to find a Pronto....

Thanks
