Hi all-

PPCs are not really that slow.  Xwords on my Dell Axim picks the 
highest point value word almost instantly.  PPCs may not be the best 
for running simulations, but with a little basic rack leave 
evaluation, they would be _very_ strong.

(I've been trying to get the author of xwords to add a little 
evaluation.  Even without it, it's a great program.)

Have a nice evening!

Mark
