Sadly, I've got no experience -- hands-on, or anecdotal -- about RowPro. AFAIK, it's a Micro$oft Windows-based program, and I run a Linux distribution (Linux Mint/11).

In any case, you're going to have to "tether" your PM3 monitor (or, did you opt for the PM4?) to your computer, via USB cable. The USB cable that comes with the rower might not be long enough to allow you to position your rower where it's comfortable for you.

Good luck, and keep rowing!

I used to use a rower... About twenty pounds ago....

I have the PM3, and have a 20' USB cable that I use for work that I'll plug in if I have to.

I plan on installing RowPro on my work laptop since I travel quite a bit, and the hotel chain I use has C2 rowers in the gym. That's my biggest problem right now- staying motivated while on the road. I figure if I can start doing some of the regular "races" in the mornings via RowPro, I can develop a habit that's easier to follow when out of town.
