:I'd like to ask a question about the palm pilot, I'm finally able to
:convince myself that it would help my low level of organization.
:
:I see an ad for a Palm IIIx, and supposedly they actually have them and
:can ship today. They list a couple of different options, and I'd
:appreciate a comment about, well, if I need them, or if they're fluff.
:
:There's options of a 3 pack replacement styluses, leather carrying case
:(I think this one's really unneeded, unless they're fragile), modem
:cable, AC adaptor (do they use a commonly available voltage, like one I
:can get at Radio Shack?) PalmIII cradle windows (this one's a complete
:mystery to me), and a HoySync cable for PC. I intend to use this in
:conjunction with my home FreeBSD PC, and I don't think I'll probably
:need any other comm for it.
:
:Suggestions as to what I oughta buy are needed. What's the HotSync
:cable, is it supported by the palm pilot software in ports?

I'm waiting for the Palm 7 to come out later this year. It is supposed
to have a color screen and, more importantly, wireless internet
connectivity built into a slimline case ( no more bulky external radios! )
