If cost isn't a problem get the Courier for it's upgradability, if you're
on a budget then there is nowt wrong with the Sportster AFAIK. I would add
though that I see more moans about Sportsters than Couriers :-). I now use
a Courier but started with a Mac n Fax and have no complaints about either.
If only I could find something that worked as well in the PCMCIA slot of
5300c, I would be a happy bunny.
