Tom K. is already aiming at that market.    However...
I can take losing to my PC at work.  It has a tower case.  It has 128 megs of
ram.  It has 20 gigs of hard disk.  It has a 20 inch monitor.  It has a 300Mhz
PII.  It beats me... I can live with it.  I still win at home against the
P5-133.

When a tiny, little, handheld palm-top starts whupping my butt...
That's going to be embarassing. ;-)

I never predict the death of anything until it has stopped kicking.  And I wait
a while.  And poke it with a stick.  Twice.  And come back the next day.  And
again, two days later, if it still is not moving, then I might admit it is sick.

I am an optimist.  So my friends tell me.
