Thanks very much for reply.

Uh oh...am I suffering from newbie ignorance?

My iPAQ rx1950 came with two cables.

Only one of those cables plugs into the iPAQ itself, and it's a USB
cable. Additionally, it has a built-in little Y junction.

The second cable is the wall wart cable, and it can plug only into the
first cable's Y junction (not the PPC itself).

I thought the only way to recharge the iPAQ was from the wall.

Are you telling me I can charge the PPC (albeit more slowly) from any
powered-on PC's USB port as well?

If so, 1) that's great, and 2) shoot me for being an idiot savant,
currently evidencing only the first half that characterization.
