Or more accurately, I feel a pain which is analogous to yours. I've got an iPAQ 3635 (so I got the CF sleeve "free"), a PC-Card sleeve, a Dual PC-Card sleeve modified by Whitney [double ka-ching!], a CF modem, a D-Link 802.11b PC-Card (I can't count the Router, switch, wireless AP, print server because I'd be using it for my desktop system* anyway), a StowAway keyboard, a serial cradle, a Gravis Stinger, a SmartMedia to PC-Card adapter (so I can edit my digital camera images on my iPAQ), and a whole lot of software. I'm just glad it will all work with the new (Merlin) iPAQs when I get (was there any question?) one of them.

If you don't count personal enjoyment, my ROI is abyssmal.



*why do we call it "desktop" when it sits on my floor? same reason we call them palmtops when they cover my whole hand?

I won't even add up my total for all of the Handheld and Pocket PC's I have used over the last 8 years. I will focus on the iPAQ series.

$500 iPAQ 3650
$650 iPAQ 3670
$170 PC Card Sleeve
$250 Dual Sleeve
$150 JafBaqII modified Dual sleeve (This mod is IMO better than the Whitney mod)
$350 1GB MD
$350 800MB Flash PC Card
$400 AirCard 510
$75 Vaja Case #1
$70 Vaja Case #2
$150 DLink WAP
$40 Serial Cradle
$75 Serial Cable
Grand total $3230
I won't even think about the software...WEW... All of this is just for the iPAQ.

Here is my history without accessories:

I wonder how much this has all costed me. :rolleyes:
