That is exactly correct; I'm busier than a one eyed cat watching two mouse 
holes, and something inside me "snapped" today.  I threw out probably 50 
pounds of assorted gear or nifty things, and the RAM and PDA are both things 
I think are still useful or interesting to someone other than me.

My office is still full of crap, but it's a lot less full.  When it gets a 
little warmer the garage will be next.

I am a horrendous packrat; I hate throwing anything out, especially if it's 
just "old" -- it's still got use!  Unfortunately I just haven't got the time 
nor space to keep up with my pack-rat nature.

Correct.  This one has the compact flash form-factor 802.11b wifi card.  I 
have a 256M MMC card for it too, but I still haven't found the charger or 
cradle.  I know they're around.  :-)
