This the best deal right if you want a handheld that plays chess primarily and also have have PDA. By the Handspring basic for around $50. Check pricewatch for current prices under handhelds: www.pricewatch.com Buy Chess Tiger for the Palm here for $19.95 http://www.rebel.nl/chesstiger/index.html So for $70, you will have a pocket PDA that will play very good chess and in all probability play better than the Novag star saphire which will go for $200-300 (which does nothing else by the way than plays chess.). I would pickup the palm ap "After Burner" - it will double your Handspring speed. If you have alitte more cash, you might want to try the refurb Visor delux for $99. It would be well worth it as it will have 8MB of memory (as compared to 2MB with basic. see the link here http://www.handspring.com/outlet/refurb_deluxe.jhtml On May 25, 2002 at 10:01:33, John D.
