    new to me!

    After Palm hosed me with the 90-day warranty on the Tungsten E2 (which promptly failed at 100 days) and wouldn't even look at it for less than $129, I'd be glad for a decent, warranteed PDA.

    never going palm again.

    It would be a bit ironic, wouldn't it? After all, didn't Apple invent Palm's entire market segment? (Apple Newton, folks??)

    And then Palm bought BeOS for further speculation.

    Still have two working Message Pads here. Thought Steve did not like PDA's.
