Hi Warren,
That's part of the problem; I haven't had any "problems" with the palm platform which is supposed to be better and more stable than Windows. I did have the Palm 705 where I was able to get my Internet clippings whenever I wanted to. Palm charged me the same price for the Treo when my Palm crashed and I had ordered an upgrade which never came in. Another alternative for me, perhaps, is to check into the Treo 700 you mentioned down the road, and see what people are saying.

I think perhaps I'll do some more research on the Palm vs. the Windows platform...then I'll make my decision in November and tell hubby-san for Christmas. BTW, Fish Tycoon is gone on my Treo. I do remember the the fish formula, but I'm not going to reinstall it now.

One of the reasons I like Village Sim so much is that even if you decide to change your strategies, those little people do have minds of their own. I do know that the little man who bobs his head constantly, isn't going to be my "rocket scientist". Thanks for your input...any other ideas I will also gladly consider.
