OT: Pocket PC

[JB]

I have a Handspring Visor deluxe and it works fine
with Kpilot, it syncs right up no problemo. I would
say keep with the PALM OS and stay away with that MS
Pocket PP.
I haven't set it up to get my email yet but I'm sure
it will with the right email client. The email client
has to have a certain capability, but off hand I don't
remember what the capability is called. I'll check
into  it later and post the info.
