that's an idea - only problem is, that it's relativly big and heavy. But 
I'm going into digital photography now too, so I have the problem of 
managing the photos too (can't go with a number of microdrives...).

Back to the PDA - some of them now can use Linux. Anything new 
about a Linix-decoder?

Seen that in Berlin some years ago by myself - in the office it was 
even worse... To much computers running :-))

Thanks a lot and best regards,
Andreas
