Best Pocket PC?

[Moose or Chuck]

I'll give you that it's faster and has a rounded edge so it looks futuristic (wooped di do), but there is no way you can make a judgement like "it's the best" no matter what PPC you're talking about.<br>Many other factors make the iPaq not such a good choice. It's size with one of the expansion sleeves one is atleast 40% deeper than a Casio with expansion built in. The Casio's screen is nicer too, bigger in size and more colorful, vibrant, and bright. The iPaq is a great device, very fast, and could be the ultimate gaming machine, atleast if it didn't come with headaches like dust behind the screen and only being able to press 1 button at a time. I played with all 3 PPCs at BestBuy before deciding, I liked the Casio's screen and it seemed just as fast. With overclocking it is many times faster in certain areas. Everyone has an opinion, I respect that. Mine is to go with a Casio. Actually, mine is to play around with a few at the store first.

Haha, I know quite a bit of BASIC and QBASIC and VB myself.  Lesse, at 5 or 7 I had one of those old IBMs.  Two 5 1/4" floppy drives.  Hard drive?  No way.  Boot it up with a DOS diskette.  Didn't have many programs for it.  You had to program it yourself with BASICA.  Ah, now those were the days.

Oh, so you are a middle aged man (probably balding and nearing death) making fun of me because you think i am 12? even though i am 15? weird.  sounds like a mid-life crisis to me!

Then if you want some other pocketpc so hard wait 6 months and get a good one, these ones you can find now will be obsolete soon.<br>

LOL, I was kidding PHAT. I knew you were on the board RIGHT NOW. I was clocking you to se how long it took to respond.<br><br>Your pretty fast. <br><br>

[Dr. Phat]

I am outta the cast, using both hands for the first time in 9 weeks!

[Jay]

I was leaning towards the Casio myself.  I don't feel like dealing with the iPAQ.

[Dr. Phat]

Don't do it Jay... who needs CF all the time?

[Jay]

CF?

[randall]

I'm gonna be watching Jay. The next Carmack?<br><br>My first computer didn't have a hard drive either. Dual 5 1/4" floppies were the only way to go.<br><br>My first hard drive was a whopping 20 megs. I laugh now because you can't even buy a new computer nowadays with less than 32 megs of RAM; 64 megs of RAM is standard.<br><br>It's cool that people so young actually have a REAL background in computers, rather than relying on the crap they teach in school (iMac?)

[Dr. Phat]

CompactFlash jay.<br>randall- please,no more walks down memory lane, it hurts!

[Jay]

I need CF all the time, and my friend, who's name happens to be Randall swears by iMacs.  Geez, I can't take him.  He's pretty skilled though, so I give him credit.

[CARPEDIEM]

god.<br><br>Is someone here +18 ???<br>

[Dr. Phat]

WAHHHHHH<br>Jay- if that's so, go for casio of @migo, unless they went out of business (PALMAX)

[randall]

NOOOOOOOOoooooo<br><br>I don't swear by iMac. I think they are utter crap.<br><br>The public school system buys these shit machines up like they are jellybeans, and "pretend" they are teaching kids computer skills.<br><br>Last modification: randall - 03/29/01 at 17:00:21
