I haven't decied on models to compare.
But you still haven't answered what the difference between CE 4.x and ME2003
SE. I mean lets face it
funcently speaking there is no difference with Mac and Windows. You can get
the same type software for each.
But there are differences. No, I'm not opening that can of worms just being
a wise ass.

I'm just wondering the differnces. I know for graphics I'd by a Mac or a
Silicon Graphics machine. Heavy computeing unix base can we say Cray :)
office work Window's Networking Linux/Unix. But nothing is really keeping
you from playing doom on a linux vs window's it can be done. You can do word
processing the same. You get the idea.

So anyway, what's the difference between CE 4.X and ME2003 SE?

As for use datebook, address book. Short notes, games. who knows. I really
don't care about the wireless or the bluetooth. It might be fun but not a
nessity. a QWERTY Keyboard built in would be really nice.

I want to make sure I can update the OS if need be reinstall or if feeling
adventureis change it (I have heard of people porting other OS to different
PDA's - while untikely it could be fun). But the OS updates are a must.

I might use it with work. I'm an EMT and Tech Support/Network guy (hence a
bios to Linux :) ).

What else would you like to know.
