My friend 'dillo does programming on his PDAs but, he does programming *for* PDAs so that kinda makes sense. The Zaurus has a keyboard, even if it's kinda tiny. Several models have foldaway keyboards available; my husband has a Targus Stowaway keyboard for his Visor and that helps -a lot-. iPaq of course have exccellent color and that might help you keep your vision several years longer... Anyways the link you're looking for is handhelds.org. * Heather Stern * star@ many places... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
