Okay. Joking aside, Mobius:
Go to eBay. Enter item number 5732321931. It's a Sharp PDA, warranty, software, USB cable, and stylus all included. The PDA has 8MB in it. And its starting bid is $1.00, shipping $15. It's on a 9 day listing, so hurry on over. I was actually looking at this for myself, but the kids need stuff, Hubby needs stuff, I can't afford it right now. You might be able to, though. Tell the parental unit that it's your own Christmas gift to yourself!!
Thanks for the tip. But allas I fear it is not fancy enough. Unfortunatly I was born with a curse. I am a "gadgit aholic" For me to buy some thing it has to have all the wisles and bells. If some thing is mearly servicable and will do what is is entended to do. Then I will not be attractid to it. It is kind of the Girl always being atracted to the "Bad Boy" thing .

The palm or windows CE (pocket pc) device I am looking at will play vids display text storys play mp3 and connect to the internet wirelessly.

I figure the budget for that is in the 4 -5 houndred dollar range and it is out of my budget. But the buety of being attracted to the bleading edge of tech.
The droppings are usaly allot cheaper. So you just have to wait a little longer.

The last PC I bougt was pretty good for its time. AMD duron 751 It has been running stable since 1998 with little or no problems. I waited until oct 2004 and parted out a home built PC with last years tech for the cost of 1/2 the price of the last pc.

It is a pentium 4 3.0 gh
512mb ddr ram
a little over 500gbs of storage
DVDr RW and all that stuff
19" monitor
and a good vid card
for a little over 300 bucks

Now that I have the memory issue ironed out it has been running stable to.

Infact it is so good that it has become boring and lost allot of what attracted me to it.
