Good point.  I'll be sure to get the hang of writing before
buying.  I need to practice writing kanji--the kana input
systems make it too easy for me.

I bet there will be, and they'll be great.  However, it'll
only be cost-effective with a Java-chip, and Sun is doing the
only real one that I know of, and it's not due out now until
2nd half of '98.  So no cool Java PDAs until '99, I think.
