The readers are too varied to get an IDEAL configuration, but what we need now is a VIABLE solution so the rest of the handhelds don't get permanently turned off (if not already...). Handhelds as a genre of computers are going to do nothing less than explode in the very near future, and IMHO we or whoever is really in charge of this area should seriously get on the stick and resolve this "irritation" before it becomes a real problem. BTW, I own and love a 48, but anyone "loyal" to one brand or type of computer nowadays without keeping interest and/or knowledge with others is only limiting themselves, as the golden age of information and computers IS upon us, and "loyalty" in the strict sense can be translated into "tunnelvision", IMHO. main() { null(flames); } ============================================================================== Mark _E_ Amos | University of Arkansas Computer Science Engineering mamos@uafhp.uark.edu | mea1@engr.uark.edu | (emphasise the Computer Engineering please) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Man's mind, when stretched to a new idea, never goes back to its original dimension." -Oliver Wendell Holmes ==============================================================================
