What I _really_ want is a version of Mathematica that I can load on my hand held running MS Pocket PC, which has 256M of memory and easily rides in my breast pocket. Even a version just of the Mathematica front end for Pocket PC, even without the kernel, would be very useful. Then I could read and write notebooks while riding the bus, sitting on the can, etc. - in other words, any place I might carry and use a printed book. I can already take files in MS Word and transfer them to the hand held, but I can't run Mathematica on it. So I have this marvelous tiny computer, but mostly use it to play solitaire, since the program I would most like to use on it can't be installed. Similarly, I would like Pocket PC versions of XML editors, etc. Is there anyone else in this situation? -GRB- From: AES To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Subject: [mg62340] [mg62304] Re: Hardcopy or electronic books? > In article , > "Steven T.
