<but does it work ... on the golf course> --- iPAQ works SUPERBLY with Sierra 300 AirCard which uses CPDP wireless. In fact, it never loses connection throughout 4hr-18 hole round. The Quotetrek, which worked via FM radio signals lost connection constantly. on the yacht> --- that 'connection' or posssibility went when I forgot to sell my CPQ when it hit 50. I thought 75 would be a good sell-point. Still holding PLENTY of CPQ although it's 50% less shares.

Today's NY Times has a good article describing the turmoil of the Hewletts and the Packards and their foundations towards the merger ... 1 things STRUCK me as interesting: That Walter Hewlett, who is fighting the merger - "is using the arguments laid out in a 69-page analysis of the deal prepared by his adviser, Friedman Fleischer & Lowe, a SF investment firm." --- later on the article says: "Hewlett-Packard's management is encouraged that Booz-Allen (whose unknown conclusions is being presented on Friday to the Packard Foundation board), the foundation's adviser, has met with the company and its advisers, McKinsey & Company, and Goldman-Sachs. --- Mr. Hewlett's adviser, Friedman Fleischer, did NOT visit Hewlett-Packard's management, preferring to work from public records.
