Yes, that's right. some girls found my pda very interesting with its full color display and the "poor" handwriting recognition. I never meant to boast my device but anyways it initiated the conversation with the girls. But the side effect is some people think you're boasting your cool device, when u never tried to do so. I had to explain their tiny camera cell phone is much better than my brick-sized PDA phone. Smile | :)
