what was that? I think you drowned me in the modem pool. I would just like to see a set of batteries that lasts for more than a day in a GPS and a PDA that you can drop in a puddle (with impunity) and has a fool proof cast iron strong data base that you CANNOT lose to palm glitches -AND- a screen that can be read in a theatre, a dark passenger compartment of an M1 tank at night, and at high noon at the beach. sun out WITH a tiny but easy to use one hand keyboard, -AND- a hands free voice recorder, phone and GPS WITH 1:25,000 scale topo maps -AND- a NA phone boook and business finder WITH multi keys DB. Is that too much to ask. It MUST run Linux! Compooterz IBM 360 IBM 3033 TI-SR52 ok, a calculator but a neat one.
