dumb thing for me to say. It came from my memory of learning how to us=
e my iPAQ when I would frequently run into situations where I beli=
eved the task being so much more sensible on the Palm. Such is frequent=
ly the case when learning totally new hardware/software. But since I st=
arted using ACT! and having finally learned most of the in-n-outs of th=
e iPAQ, those situations have become so infrequent that I honestly can'=
t remember what they were. If I were to load some batteries back into m=
y Palm and play with it a while perhaps I could remember what they were=
, but honestly I am really happy with my iPAQ and see no reason to go b=
ack. Call it a learning curve, I guess. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
