As someone mentioned, PPC's make great toys. Palms make great organizers.

Take a look at what you want to do with it.

I had a Palm V, and now have a Palm 505. The palmV serves the exact same purpose as the Palm 505. I only got it because, it was dirt cheap. (Try under 100 bucks, family member upgraded to a 705) It offeres the ability to take a wireless sled. (Work loans me one)

I use my Palm to keep contacts, remind me for appointments, and take notes. My co-worker uses a Palm 3, and for all intents and purposes we get the same amount of use out of them.

We also have a Pocket PC device that we trade off. (Larger than a PDA, has a full Keyboard, it's about the size of a DVD case. Infact, it opens just like a DVD and shows the screeen) It allows us to run all kinds of programs like NetStumbler, a terminal program, Wireless Signal strenght meters, pocket access.
