Even better. Make sure it's the 700p, not 'w'. You don't want to
unnecessarily lock your data, although I'm having second thoughts either way
(Palm data isn't Open /per se/).

Very! Just make sure you have desktops at home and/or work, with which to
synchronise. I find that laptops are too slow to work with (single small
display, too many peripherals, connection usually unavailable), so I just
schedule stuff on the PDA and have it channelled to the desktop, which is
when proper work is being done effectively.
Best wishes,
Roy
