re: I was thinking of buying a PalmIII PDA from them anyway...looks like maybe COOL will be buying it FOR ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In case you are interested in the Palm Pilot III. Most places are selling it for $369 (and as low as $329.00). I found an ad in the NY Times Friday 12/04/98, page A16 (if you want to get a copy of the Ad), advertising the PP III for $249.99 at PCSAVE.COM. I cut the ad out and went to Staples, who was selling it for $369.00. After showing the ad to several stores,they indicated that "they just ran out of them". I finally got smart and went to another store, and did not produce the ad until I got to the register. According to their price guarantee of %155 of the difference, I convinced the store manager (only after 10 minutes of explaining to him what the word "plus" meant, in their low price guarantee) not only to match the price of 249.99, but to take off 55% of the $120.00 price difference (up to $55) thereby bringing the price to about $190.00. Get the ad, and demand the low price guarantee. BTW, love the PPIII. David
