They are indeed nice, but the specs on dynamism don't mention IR for
either of them. With it being the only port on my 70CT I've gotten
quite used to having it. IR sync with Palm, IR connection to mobile
phone (still have to get it working), shooting files back and forth
with other enlightened users via IR, etc. All with no cables. Nice.
Can't see giving up IR on an "upgrade" machine, although these are VERY
nice. As much as I like Linas Torvalds, I just can't get that excited
about Crusoe. I'd be running Windows on the machine, so the 533 Crusoe
performs like what, a 300 or so Pentium when it's emulating IAPX?
Thanks for the quick response... I'll keep looking and hoping, and when
I eventulaly can't take it anymore I'll buy the best thing I've
found...
David
