     Nice try Michael, but I didn't say that I "couldn't find any use
for [my] palmtop ... "  I see you're at an EDU site.  We'll hope
you learn to read better before you get into the work world. :-)
I'm not at all impressed by the fact that your father "can do things
in an hour on the plane that used to take him all day."  All
that tells me is that he didn't have a notebook computer.
