Do you need to phone from your bathroom? So you don't need a cellular phone
then...
The PDAs and the cellular phones follow the same logic. We all HATE to be
anchored to our desktop. We want to be able to move and receive phone calls at
the same time, we want to move and still have access to all the informations we
have in our PCs.
There is the same logic behind the PDAs than behind the mobile phones. They will
have a similar success. You just need to apply the percentage success of the
mobile phone to the population of people owning a computer.
In some countries, 70% of the people own a mobile phone. I predict that in these
countries, 70% of PC owners will buy a PDA.
And PDAs are like mobile phones. You can't really understand that you need one
until you try one.
In your case, I think you love dedicated chess computers. Then I think you'll
love PDAs too, because they are going to replace chess computers.
