 Between the Palm, and Adobe's Ebooks, I still wonder why bother?
 Project Gutenburg has the right idea, free ascii texts. Which
 reminds me, I do gotta send for their two DVD set.

 I have a 3 inch CD, with a collection of reference files, public
 domain, more info than you saw outside a library before the
 advent of computers, and usable on any PC or Mac compatible
 computer. I have copies on my computer, my laptops at work, and
 give out copies to anyone I want to corrupt.

 When I find a Palm I can attach a harddrive or CD drive to I'll
 be interested.

 Here's a list of the directories.
