Help a Fellow Pocket PC User Out!
Manuel de la Torre is a hard-core Pocket PC user, and he needs a bit of support from his fellow Pocket PC users. You see, Manuel is a keyboard player in a band from Lincoln, Nebraska, named Cactus Hill. His band is in a contest to open for Phil Vassar, and they need to get a few thousand of you to email the radio station with your votes. I wouldn't normally post on something like this, but after seeing how much Manuel uses his Pocket PC with his music, I thought it was pretty cool. They don't have any audio samples up on the Web site, so I can't tell you if they suck or not :lol:, but hey, check out this picture:
"I use my Pocket PC for a lot of other music-related stuff. I have a 128 MB SD card loaded with all of our practice songs, and I take it with me to every practice for reviewing purposes. I've used the Pocket PC to trigger special effects when we're playing live. I also built a "web site" specifically for the Pocket PC with all the songs we play, including beat, key, time signature, who sings what vocals, links to the lyrics, etc. I even bought a $500.00 car stereo so that I could connect the Pocket PC to it and listen to our practice songs while driving to our gigs (and also so that we could watch movies with full stereo sound). I use that poor thing for everything except taking a shower."
So what are you waiting for? Send that email. (remember to leave the subject line unchanged, and only one message per email address - don't spam them!) I think Manuel deserves our support for bringing the worlds of music and PDAs one step closer. Good luck Cactus Hill!

Jason is the man! Thanks to everyone for your help!
Hello, everybody! I'm the musician-geek who asked Jason the tremendous favor of asking you guys to help me out.  I just wanted to publicly thank Jason and all of you guys for the invaluable support you have given me and Cactus Hill. Jason, there are some mp3 files of the band right on the News section of our web site (http://www.cactushill.web.com), just in case anybody is curious to know if we suck or not. :wink: Anywho, may God bless you with new Pocket PCs!
Manuel de la Torre

I thought I was the only person in Lincoln, NE that owned a Pocket PC! Slowly but surely we're taking over the world.

I've been doing some evangelizing, and to this date I've converted the singer in the band and my girl here in Lincoln, plus some friends in Mexico. By the way, your web site rules! :werenotworthy: I visit it quite frequently. I would've never thought it was developed in Lincoln, NE (no offense to Lincolnites, but there are not that many web developers around here...). :roll: Keep up the good work! And yeah, we're taking over... Watch out, Palmsters... :twisted:

Considering your musical preferences, your commendation is very appreciated. Here's a joke you may like: "Discourage in-breeding: Ban Country Music!" Thanks for your support, Paragon!
