On a typical day, a person wouldn’t normally mention the words pocket knives and PDAs in the same sentence. Just the idea conjures up nightmarish thoughts of someone trying to use a pen knife as a stylus substitute! EEP! But in this case, I can talk about pocket knives and PDAs together and not feel

Yesterday I ordered a Direcway 2-way satellite broadband system. Crappy dial up connections of less than 33.6kpbs most of the time finally got to me. Unfortunately, I can’t get DSL, Cable, ISDN or anything else faster than 2 tin cans and a string in my area. Once I get it, would anyone be interested in
