But, it makes it difficult for new users of these groups. Handhelds is no longer a good descriptor of the units primarily discussed. Whatever is discussed should be split up since the HP 48 and its sucessors do not belong with the Portfolio, BOSS, HP-95, etc. There in lies the rub, handhelds describes both, and therefore it describes NEITHER! comp.sys.palmtops and comp.sys.something but comp.sys.handhelds should go away. This is just an opinion, not a religion, and I am entitled to my opinion. Flames to dev.null -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert L.
