I have so far been successful in avoiding the purchase of a PDA :) I agree on the micro drives, though. I just ordered a 1G high speed Kingston CF card for $71.00. And I noticed *after* I'd decided to buy it that there's a $20.00 rebate on TOP of that. $51.00 net. http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=82238-1&affiliate=shopping in case anyone's interested. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
