It's the 'or'. The palmtop is how a computer should work as far as this type
stuff operates. With the PCMCIA slot & COM slot & IR port it has most bases
covered. It is not a CE or windows. I have five computers - 3 HP-9000's;
this is an HP Pavilion and the palmtop. The 9000's are for engineers and
still 2 light years ahead of Bill Gates. The MS BS (I'm running W-95) is
crap. I get upset with this stuff. The 9000's were ahead of this 15 yrs ago.
I'll get off my soap box. I just feel sorry for Thomsa Crapper the inventor
of the modern tollit.
Apart from my ranting - hey they let me out on the weekends. I haven't
figured out how to get out of the white jacket yet. The MS stuff does do a
lot for $4K and that's why I'm using it. I have Lotus (good) & MS Office pro
edition (bad) + around $25K of software in this little unit. It does a lot
for the money and is good for the money. That's why Bill G has
$65,000,000,000.02.
I hope you're not sorry you asked.
