- Yup...I bought the USR, and I'm pretty satisfied with it....
- the only thing I miss about the PPI is the LCD screen, but who cares,
- when the modem didn't work anyway...I do have a tiny problem though...
- sometimes when I'm typing with the USR, it'll freeze for a second or two,
- and then everything will come out....?
