If you have another handheld computer, post something interesting! It would be nice to hear from the Portfolio and Poqet users out there. I don't think that renaming the group is a solution to the problem, because then there will be no general forum for handheld users. Or else two newsgroups will have to be created (one for hp's, one for other handhelds), and IMHO the Usenet community should avoid creating new newsgroups when one will suffice. The real solution should be for other handheld users out there to speak up, write some articles, and generate some new discussion threads. I feel this group is appropriately named. I would welcome discussions about other handhelds (however, I have an hp28). .oO Chris Oo. -- Christopher Lishka 608-262-4485 "Somebody said to me, `But the Beatles were Wisconsin State Lab. of Hygiene antimaterialistic.'
