Hi,
This was meant as a reponse to a post way down in the list of threads, but since
I think several authors might find it interesting, I thought I'd post it
separately here.

I really don't see why this need be a limitation. Just find a way to link a
Pocket PC, Palm, or some other very small unit, to a DGT board (for example) and
you'll have a modern modular dedicated unit. Not to mention plenty more
possibilities than what those dinky screens and interfaces offered (no offense
meant to the authors).
