Actually, I have Ari's product. I have to admit, it is a pretty neat little
tool. The idea is that you don't need to lug around a laptop with a
wireless Ricochet modem. Yeah, that would be a much better combination, you
could ultimately do more in a shorter amount of time. But, with my Palm

That way I wouldn't have to hang around the house all weekend waiting for a
