Bob, You can get a Palm 7 for $199 right now and that has the wireless access you talk about. The Visor will need additional add-ons which quite honestly can be expensive, and that is before the monthly fees involved. The one reason I opted for something other than a Palm 7 was the size and bulk of it. With a Visor, you can remove the card when you are not going wireless and get back down to a svelte 5 ounces. The difference becomes a tax loss carry forward which means they retain the whole dollar of future profits instead of paying 22-33 cents of it to the government on a quarterly estimate. This is a very good point and one that people will become more focused on when(if??) worries over the future ever recede and even a glimmer of optimism over the future returns. There is a bright spot in the lining after all:-) Brian
