        <content>For our dining club I host, or attend, a lot of dinners consisting of anywhere from 6 to 18 people.  Many of our members share bottles of wine, apps, desserts, you name it.  Splitting the bill has been a little bit easier when we caught on to "personal tabs".  The host sets out a small pre-printed slip with places to itemize the individual&#8217;s (or couple&#8217;s) bill.  At the end of the evening they turn them in, it gets calculated with the tax and tip and returned to the individuals.  Its quick, quiet and painless.  But now I want to get computerized.
I have seen a little &#8220;bill-splitting" shareware program that calculates individual (or couple's) tabs. So far the best one is Tipsey for the Palm, BUT I have a Pocket PC.   Since I have been sampling the programs for Pocket PC I&#8217;ve found a couple of them seem to have glitches.  
Does anyone  have experience using this stuff?  Your opinions are really welcome!
