    Hmmm...... what could I use a palm for if I was still in high school:
    • Exchanging notes!
    • Tetris. Gotta love the TI-8x calculators - nice games. =)
    • Using your palm as a remote control for the TV...
    • Buzzword bingo! Hey, gotta start the kids early...
    • Cheating. Well, *duh* - with 512k of RAM, you can store a small book in there!
    • Beaming your latest comic strip to the hp printer down the hall.

    I think I'll submit some of these. >:)
