I just ordered my iPaq last week. One of the monochrome ones. It was $150 after rebate with a compact flash card, a great deal. Unfortunately, it hasn't arrived yet. :-( It's great to hear about Perl on it though. I'd probably be willing to waste my time writing code on it, just because I can do it at school . :-) I'm going to at least experiment with Familiar.
While on the subject, did a handheld version of PM ever get made? If not I may look at making one.
