are you the OP (original poster?) (different return address)

If not, please post what you need to do with a small computer...

the ppc will do everything requested in the op in a smaller package that costs less and has far better battery life... you may not be able to run the windows apps you are familiar with, but there are thousands of ppc apps, including thin sql clients, that not only do what most people need, but do it within the screen and input limits of the ppc.

Yes. I use several different names depending on which of my computers I happen to be using at the moment.

I need a handheld device to take quick notes when I don't want to drag out my laptop and there are times when I'd like to be able to check email without the need to have my laptop available. Perhaps also some minor web browsing. The calendar feature is also very important to me. I have just never gotten used to carrying around a day planner because I prefer to do almost everything on a computer. Beyond that, I'm pretty sure I'll find other uses as well.
