Thanks for that guys. It is confusing, but for some reason, Compaq made my machine prior to the launch if the IPAQ handheld, branded it an IPAQ, and then stopped making it. The bloke in the Compaq shop on saturday was most confused. Didnt believe me until I showed him the manual. Anyway in the spirit of gadget obsessed men the world over, I have decided that I need new technology, therefore I am going to get a new puter. Cheers.
