Hi all:
After a couple of years using an slow, turttle walking Palm m105, I finally put
my avid hand on the last cry of Palm line, a T3 machine with a 400 Mhz processor
and 64 Mb Ram. Apart from his many other fatures and amenities, this little
gadget let Tiger really show his claws. In the m105 Tiger was goood enough to
give me a run for my money...if batteries let me finish the game. Now that
problem is gone and you can play all the time you want without  intrruption
because the device, as much it is in his craddle, has the batterie constantly
recharged  from the house electric supply.Out of it, it has a longr life, at
least enough for several good games at arund 30 minutes ach.
How good this Tiger is?
As good, I would say, as a 2400+ player. And full of features. In fact, just
because 400 Mhz is still slower than any average current desktop,  I could say
that with this Tiger and this Palm model you does not need to put On the big
thing on you table.
Before Tiger gave me a run for my money; now simply I am wiped out of the board.
How amazing is to be capable of keeping an at least IM in your shirt pocket!
If someone is ever thinking in getting a handheld chess unit, forget it: get the
Palm and the programs and yo have that and a lot more. Sfter all with Palm you
can do other things too.....
My best to all
fernando
