Amen! -- It's bad enough to have to support them at work on desktops... 
I can't see myself ever bowing to pressure and buying one on yet 
another hardware platform!

I'll do without a handheld for the rest of my life before I do _that_! 
(And be better off for it, I guarantee. =)

Well... "as you will," regarding the first part. But as to the 
waiting...

Here-here!

While I'll allow that it may not be Mark/Space's fault... I can't 
believe that I've waited this long! My patience is absolutely at it's 
end.

Without syncing, the hiptop wasn't quite (maybe nearly, but just not 
quite) worth it to me... and without the hiptop itself (which is the 
only device since the Newton that looks to even approach "worth-while" 
status in the handheld market, and therefore the only one I can see 
buying) then the whole idea of syncing goes down the drain -- taking 
Mark/Space's software with it -- for me at least.
