Today, the final piece to my new quiet computer puzzle arrived… the case. I ordered a very cool CaseArts Knotty Burl painted Cheiftec case from Directron.

Who would have guessed that last year’s Palm equivalent to the mini-van – the Zire, would morph into this year’s two door sport coupe? Everything pointed to the Zire remaining Palm’s bargain PDA.
