Thank you all for your input;

Well, I went with the 400 due to the comments of a possible upgrade to the 2002 PPC system and having enough memory to run a updated version such as PPC 2003, if and when it comes out. With all operating systems updates and changes are going to happen and I would rather hedge my bet. Not to mention I may want to add a program or two if I get real daring.......

Ordered today along with the travel sync cable, leather case and stylus pack. Ordered via phone as I heard that is a faster way to go, time out to shipping was quoted as 12 days. While on the call I could not pass up ordering a 2350 desktop at $499.00 with a $100.00 rebate and free shipping. Added in a 40 gig hard-drive for an additional $30.00, promo included a second cd/rw and 256 k upgrade, all that for $429.00; not bad. Since I already have a 17 inch LCD monitor the no monitor included was not an issue and made the price tooooo tempting.

Now I can have another desktop, to replace our old one we sent the kids and to keep the wife from complaining when I travel with my laptop and she has no access to email............... Well worth the price!!!!!!

When I receive the axim you may well here from me as my knowledge of tech is quite low and I would become frustrated fast if I run into problems setting and sync-ing this thing. From the other posts it appears easy enough and with running MS office XP Pro I believe I have the supporting programs. I hope it is as easy as plug and play, input my schedule, contacts etc., and go........

I have seen some other posts on screen protectors which I will order but would like a hardcase, leather flip style or aluminum if any are available?
