Or you could download a PDA Emulator, which sort of completely defies the point of owning one, but it's cheaper.
The Pocket PC emulator (part of Microsoft embedded Visual C++ software development kit) can be found at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2dbee84a-bd94-4167-b817-2b2e548b2e92&displaylang=en

"Thanks 
, I wonder if it will work on our 'mobile computer' (20MC 486DX5 with MS Windows 95 retail, but it _is_ mobile!)
Should I inform microsoft not everyone runs their browser full screen?"

Hmm probably not. A laptop like that would probably be best either retired, or running linux.

Or running as a terminal attached to a "larger" machine, say to provide a second surfing station in your living room. You can run a VMRC terminal on the 486, connected to a fast Pentium 4, and the surfing will be at the speed of the Pentium 4.

Sounds cool. Out of curiosity, does anyone know if this includes Wi-Fi enabled PDAs (such as the Palm Pilot T|C) or only cellphone PDAs?
