I was mistaken in my reference to PC Week, but I thought I saw 40% on some
online review which my aging brain cells can't recall.... that's why I
depend on a Palm handheld!
You and Scott are correct. I was hoping to get a "relative" feel, but it's
just not practical on POSE. Oh well, looks like I'll just have to buy an
M100 and add to my growing collection of handhelds and cradles. :-)
