No problem. My own use of the hard will be simply to download my MP3s to it.

Bummer. I was afraid of that. But maybe when Squeak become 10x faster :)
and these things add memory or maybe even sdmemory cards or something it
could get better. Oh well.
I just bought my wife a Handspring Treo 90, but I ain't goin' there. :)
Maybe when PDAs get more powerful and we have 1gb+ memory cards. :)
Or when PDAs have the storage of these devices then the proprietary MP3
players won't have the stronghold. Then Squeak playing ogg vorbis files.
Ahh! :)
Thanks,
Jimmie
