No thanks--at that rate, I'll just take a computer. Now here is the diliemma when talking about an IPAQ. There are two distinct platforms. One of these is the handheld. The other is a mini tower. The mini tower is a somewhat normal computer in a cute case with no floppy or CD by default. It has support for floppy and CD in a hot swap bay very much like a laptop. It is available either "legacy free" with no serial or parallel ports or in a "legacy" version which has 2 serial and a parallel. The handheld has a USB connector. They have a sleeve that is available that allows you to use a Type 1 pcmcia card. Now if this sounds confusing, I will assure you it is. My company recently deployed close to 30 of the desktop units and 7 handhelds in a medical clinic. We have been deploying the desktop units for some time and now we have some good confusion because both are IPAQs. What really makes it fun is that a good number of people don't realize that both have the same name. I am sure the same people came up with this scheme that decided that the ballpark the Texas Rangers play in should be named: The Ballpark (in Arlington). ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net Nothing is hard if you know the answer or are used to doing it. _______________________________________________ Speakup mailing list Speakup@braille.uwo.ca http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup
