Thanks for the advice. I am going to assume I really should be planning on
1gb of ram and trying to figure out how I am going to pay for it. I would
like the app to be free but it looks like I am going to have to charge
which means it probably won't be used as much as I would like. Bummer.
I am a volunteer firefighter so I had big hopes for this app to be adopted
by other firefighters.
Thanks again, for the advice,
Walter Deane
