I wasn't into them when the 3400c was made but that seems like a brilliant idea, fold-in clip legs in the back or something. It doesn't seem to me like that would be that difficult to do. On the other hand, having read Trevor's post about a metal box, I just looked over at my Palm Tungsten-3 in its hard leather case. It's a little larger and thicker than a deck of cards and I just put it under the back and it seems to be a sturdy fix (and free). You mentioned that the cooling issue won't be fixed until they start using faster chips, which might be ... When? Or is it possible that by the time they start using faster chips there will be a newer OSX that uses those faster chips, so the heating issue may always be a problem? /AB
