And it has a great little screen with clear, sharp and vivid colours and a memory stick where I keep all my dictionaries and papers and lectures with references... And my email and my Chess Tiger playing at about 2200 SSDF... Lots of fun having Chess Tiger on your Palm. Nothing wrong with my "old" Palm, I can assure you. There is a new one in a shop near by. But it is expensive. I could buy a dual Xeon 2.4 with the money I'd invest in that new Palm. Finally, there is a great Scrabble game for my Palm and a pretty good backgammon prog as well... Djordje
