rudedog, Thanks for the comments on the iPaq. I didn't think about or know about the Dell machine not doing Win 2000! That is important in my mind. Thanks NW

Rude, The Dell webpc is a ripoff in my opinion. Hell, you can price out a Dimension 500mhz box with equivalent specs except for much better graphics and buy it for a couple hundred less. Dimension gives you a 3 year warranty, webpc a 1 year. The last Dimension system I installed for someone as a favor had a one click setup for Dell internet access. Can't imagine that the webpc is any easier, so aside from the marketing hype I don't see why an 'informed' consumer would buy one.... Regards, John
