Doesn't most nav software allow only a limited number of usages (like
2?)? So what happens when your cheap ebay laptop crashes? Isn't your
software history also?
Just wondering

Gordon,

I think that Fugawi allows two installations - That's not bad when you
consider most software only allows one plus a backup. I believe that Fugawi
will also accommodate you if you have a system crash and need to
re-install - BUT, I have not tried this - it presumably requires a telephone
call and some of the people there are a bit difficult to deal with!

I have had Fugawi 3 for quite a number of years and have not hit into the
installation limitation, even although I have it on my Desktop, on my laptop
and on my Iraq. The laptop has had one hard drive replacement. Fortunately,
I had backed up my complete laptop hard drive so did not have to re-install.

There does not seem to be any limitations on number of installations to
iPaq, because I have lost all programs in memory several time when battery
ran down due to lack of use and had to re-install.

If you get two PCs that are the identical model you could setup one and
simple mirror the drive for the other one.

Most software also allows more than one install. Most allow 2, some allow
three. Most also allow you to call in and request they rearrange the keys
in the event of machine failures.
