Palm device advice

[Guy <guy -at- hiskeyboard -dot- com>]

Thanks to Eilene Heckman, Carla Martinek, Bruce Evans, John Clark, Lee Hunter, & 
Dana Worley (hope I haven't overlooked anyone?) for all the feedback on Palm 
devices. Sounds like Palm IIIxe is reliable enough, and that porting its data 
over to a later Palm generation is painless.

I bought my daughter a refurbished IIIxe for $49.95 and am submitting paperwork 
for a $20 rebate, bringing down my net cost (with tax) to under $31.95 plus a 
stamp.  Not bad for a device that apparently sold for about $200 when it came out.

If, like her old man, discovers that she cannot live without it, *she* can shell 
out her own bux for a new Tungsten E (or better) and move up to the world of 
more-detailed, color displays and faster processors (and learn a whole new 
version of Grafitti, unless she adopts one of the other writing-recognition 
packages).
