On the week-end I watched a "science" special on the new palm-top, cray-in-a-
portable-pc type programs.  One thing that struck me (as I watched this woman
walking around outdoors with a pen-based system costing around $15,000) was
what happens when you drop one of these things.  Dropping your $50 calculator
is fine, but making $10,000 plus toys portable scares me :-)

Regards Scott.
