Hi, me again.

I just wanted to say that I may have been living in a cave for a while =
and not aware of the usefullness of a PDA for I/O for my MPU projects. =
But using a PDA for data entry and display for MPU projects is ideal for =
me.

If someone wrote a PDA program that was just a  serial terminal, that =
had adjustable fonts, I would gladly pay $20.00 for such a program. I =
have found a couple that work great but for one problem. The letters are =
so small that I just can't see them.

The ideal terminal would allow the MPU to send font commands to the PDA. =
That way, depending on the data to be displayed, it could be seen.

My current project displays a floating point single data type. I would =
like it to be BIG. But on the other hand, it displays a small menu of =
commands so fonts would need top be smaller to get them all on the =
screen. The MPU also accepts about different commands, each preceeded by =
a letter, so having the touch keypad accessable would be a plus, as well =
as the grafiti decoder.

The Palm m100 is under $100.00 now and will probably be about $50.00 in =
a year, so it is not too expensive for what it can do in many cases.

Thanks

John
