Thanks Darren, I do not ember Phil's item, or his microdrive......
Phil has too much kit to remember it all!

They certainly are a good bit of kit.

What sort of things can you do with these things that make them so
desirable, apart from the fact that they are gorgeous.

I know you can access the web, sent email, has calendar, schedule, phone
databases but what sets it apart from the others?
