I carry my handheld with me everywhere!  It is not a toy and did not cost
$800! I do not have to dig out paper and pen to take notes...my pda has
WORD!  it also has EXCEL and MONEY!  it has a modem and explorer, so I am
never far from my email or the internet.  Take away my handheld, you might
as well take my right arm too!

First, you'd have to convince me that handhelds are anything more than
overpriced toys. Personally, I'd really resent being told I had to fork out
800 dollars for one of them. In this case, being able to dodge the
requirement might not be a bad thing.
