I'm sure I'll come up with other uses. :-) But at least initially I
just want something to carry other than paper. I travel a bit and it's
pretty impractical print cache sheets on the road.
I know little of bluetooth other than it is some sort of wireless USB
sort of thing. I can see possible advantages. I had someone tell me to
consider something with a built in camera. I do take my camera with me,
it is great for things like Brawny Bear's mysterys. Photo the stories,
solve them *again* later. <g> But most built-in cameras don't have the
resolution or magnified viewing to permit that. Scratch the built in
camera..
Speaking of mysteries, I still have one to do. I think I'll check the
weather.
