Illness seems to have finally abated; some gravel remains in the throat, in the lungs, but the miserable days seem to finally be over. Only took a full week.

Bar review starts tomorrow afternoon, in Times Square. Hopefully, this time, things will go well enough that it can be the last time.

Note to self: does it make sense to get one of those infrared keyboards for the PDA? Will be bringing the laptop regardless, and a spiral book and pens, but laptop battery only has one and a half hours of juice at full charge, and power outlets may not be available. Don't know if infrared keyboards for PDAs can keep up with 72 words per minute typing, though. Anyone know?

Close entry.

Intimately. Think Sam in "Upgrades". *g*

It works for me because I'm pretty much just using it for composing from scratch, which has built-in pauses for the poor toy to catch up.

After some limited experimentation to see what it would take, I'd say if you can keep it to around 55 wpm, and aren't going at too solid a stretch (haven't measured, tho), it's all good. Also, I have a Palm m105; a later generation toy will probably fare a bit better.

I tried typing from a page of copy at my normal 90 wpm, just for shits 'n' giggles. Waiting for the sentences to show up and then seeing what imaginary words result from the missing letters is pretty entertaining. If you're me, anyway. ;-)

I got this one. (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1051826240270&skuId=5452654&type=product) Same price in the store, at least here in Chi.

Folds up and latches securely into a sturdy little 4" x 5.5" x 1" package. Definitely go for it.

Can't help with the PDA, but good luck!
