Hi all!

I'm planning on getting an axim x50v within the next week or so and I was wondering if WM2003SE supports running programs in the background? For example, I use IRC to keep in touch with people while I'm on the road. Would I be able to run an IRC client, then run a web browser and stay connected to IRC in the background, then go back to my IRC client?

I realize this may seem trivial (because I think it is possible from what I've read), but I'm a long-time PalmOS user and this is one of the things that's been annoying me. I've been waiting for a PalmOS Cobalt system to come out, but manufacturers are dragging their feet on this issue. That's why I'm jumping ship to PPC.

Thanks in advance for your responses!
