Ode to my OmniGo

OK, no poetry, but I would like to giving a short, but glowing,
testimonial.

Yesterday I was taking my OmniGo out of my pocket, and I lost control of
it. It went tumbling to the ground and hit so hard and in such a way as to
send not only the pen and batteries, but even the flashcard flying in
different directions.

Now, I used to own an HP OmniBook 300, and it was entirely unfazed after a
4 foot dive (with a 1 and a half front flip, no twist) onto a concrete
floor. So, I was fairly confident that no harm was done to my OmniGo. But,
I was still pleasantly surprised when I put it back together that I got not
even an error message complaint from it.

You know, I'd pay good money to try that with a WINCE machine. :-)
