I personally think this is a very enlightening discussion. PDA's and pocket
PC's are technology some or most of us use. I totally disagree with you.
Scott and all please keep this thread on list as it is benefiting some of
us. I delete threads that don't interest me. I wish we could catalog this
information for a tutorial on purchasing
PDA's and the like.
Thanks Rob!

Hello Scott, Frank and Sue,
I hope that you all take this request without getting upset but may I ask
that you all continue this chat off list or do an instant message chat for
this is becoming a bit much and my, as well as all, inboxes are being
over-loaded with this and again, please take this off-list to save us such
downloading of such quantities of messages...
Thanks for your understanding,
Rick
