    Pretty sure that if Apple takes Palm, I'm switching to a PocketPC right away. I don't buy Macs. Why buy an Etch-a-sketch when you can get a COMPUTER for the same price? Go with real Linux (not the one for Dummies e.g. OSX) or just use Windows. I have high hopes for Vista...high hopes that Apple will fall over dead.
