Nope, no Palm, or other PDA type creature. No portable computer. If I go to shoot with a LF camera, I enjoy the concentration and peacefulness of it all. Married ( to the same Woman ) for 37 years. You have a point, it is a useful-to-some want. But I still state... go out and smell the roses......

Do you NEED to throw a black hood over your head and only observe the beauty through a dim ground glass? What does your girlfriend/mistress/wife/SO think of beauty [unless it is hers] and spending all that time with a camera? It has nothing to do with NEEDS -- it has to do with desires. [Which had better be for the GF/W/MS/SO if she/he/it is around]. Do you like to fiddle with gadgets? Do you already own a Palm? Are you such a geek that your palm is the closest you are going to get to a GF/W/MS/SO? -- Nicholas O.
