==========================
just remember moore's law... a few years ago i got the cheapest palm-pilot
i could find (original zire, ~$85). about a year later i again got the
cheapest palm-pilot i could find (zire 22, ~$75). i spent $10 less, and
the zire-22 runs circles around the original zire, most noticeably when i
generate OPIE passwords.
