Yes. Not only is the PP the most portable terminal I have found, it is
also great because there is a plethora of software for it. Check the palm
pilot web site. There is tons of shareware/freeware for terminal stuff and
just about anything else you might want to do!

Now only if they made a waterproof PP I could use it for our EV boat...

Good luck!
