An aside about Palm Pilots: I think that those Microsoft ads with the Palm PC's (or whatever they call them) are actually good advertising for the 3COM PalmPilot - they look very similar, and the 3Com version is MUCH MORE POPULAR. So, when I see those ads, I immediately think they're PalmPilots (as I imagine most people would). If I take a serious look at the ad and search for the manufacturer's name, then I think differently. Also, over 5,000 home hackers developing programs for the PalmPilot. Whew!! It's gonna be more popular than Linux and Perl. It'll be the next major language up-and-coming programmer's have to learn (whatever language PalmPilot uses that is - I'm assuming it's proprietary) Joe
