I played with the Palm Emulator and then decided to by a Palm. I played with the PocketPC Emulator before buying a PocketPC. I played with the emulator of a electronic dictionary before buying several of them for my wife over the past years. That is just me. ;-) Xiaofan -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
