Behold the Palm PC (March 24,1998)
This list is by no means exhaustive, and as time goes on, more links need to be added to this page. My time is very limited and I've done the best that I could with the time that I had. Please contribute other links that you find in the link below. I hope you've found this page somewhat useful. Please forgive the dumping of all the ads below (at least I've kept them to one spot) - I'm having trouble supporting my expensive habits on the web (web hosting costs, domain name, ISP, etc). Thanks for your help.
By the way, I am a Palm Pilot user, but I am very interested in these new Palm PC's
