I have been faithfully lurking on FT for about six months now. I have been waiting for a chance to give back, but as a someone who does not travel nearly enough (1-2x/year for business and 1-3x/year for pleasure) I really just sit and learn. BTW: Thank you all.

Now PDA's is another subject all together. I have noticed that FT is very Pocket PC friendly. Honestly I really enjoy the Palm OS. I am biased -- I have owned five Palm OS products and counting. Currently I have the Tungsten T3 (purchased for 200 US) which with an optional WiFi card and bluetooth enabled phone has been great for travel. Also, there is nothing like pulling out your PDA and watching last nights Scrubs to get the guy next to you asking questions. I know you can watch a DVD on your labtop, but something about the "I can" factor that is different.

Of course, the most important thing is what is best for you. I would lurk over at some PDA forums. I highly recommend www.brighthand.com which has great Pocket PC and Palm OS forums. Very friendly group much like here at FT.
