- I looked for a FAQ posting but haven't seen one for about 10 days, so I'll be
- bold and post a couple of NEW USER questions....
-
- Actually, I'm not yet even a user, but here goes ;-)
-
- I would _LOVE_ to have a little computer to carry around with me wherever I go!
- From the sound of previous posts, it looks like HP offers a few models to choose
- from. I am a UNIX tech support guy at work, and at times I have the need to dial
- in to the systems at work. I also run a PC BBS at home, and would like to be able
- to dial-in to "check things out" now and then.
-
- My question is: Is it worth my while to consider a palmtop/handlheld computer, or
- do I want to look for a laptop class machine? I am not too
- concerned with disk storage or blazing fast performance -- just
- the ability to dial in from wherever I may be! !!PORTABILITY!!
-
- Just what can these little computers handle? Will I be super-annoyed at their slow-
- ness, or limited functionality? Again, I like the idea of super-compactness, and
- the ability to use a modem to connect to a remote host! What kind of price
- should I look at for a setup that will be good for dial-in operations (2400bps data,
- no FAX)?
-
- Your replies will be greatly appreciated, again I apologize for the basic nature
- of the post -- I hate those same-ol' questions myself -- Anyway, thanks for your
- help!
-
- Cheers,
- Howie

- BTW -> If you have a setup that is appropriate for my needs, I would consider
- purchasing it!
