[Az-Geocaching] PDA POLL!!!

[Mark Heitowit]

My Sony Clie works well, most Sony's come standard with 16 MB of memory. I
had a b/w one which broke (dropped it on a cache). Returned it under the
extended warranty and upgraded to the color model. I have a 128 MB memory
stick. If you store the book on the memory stick, it is very very very very
slow on accessing the index page. Fry's electronics has it on sale now for
$244 I believe.  Best Buy has a better extended warranty and they price
match.

Also if you use a memory stick, you can buy a reader, I got one on Ebay for
$20 that reads 6 different types of memory cards, so it work with my digital
camera cards also. The card reader transfers the AZ Active, with logs to the
memory stick in under 3 seconds. The hot sync directly to the internal
memory used to take minutes.

Ask if you have any other questions.
