For me, the formula is simple: The HP 200LX is an IBM compatible laptop in my shirt pocket. Nothing else matters. Having a laptop in my pocket means I can compute literally anywhere, any time. I can use WordPerfect 5.1 on my Palmtop, Lotus 1,2,3, Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, or any of countless other DOS-based programs. The fact that the HP Palmtop is there when you need it makes it even more usable than a pricey laptop. Edward A. Caine CompuServe ID: [73051,3722]
