I can hardly believe I am posting this message from my bed. I just bought an iPaq 4155 and conected to my dsl modem using wifi and am surfing the web at over 1100 kbs... wow!

Now if I could just find a spell checker that would work to check the spelling on my posts that wwould be cool. Anyone know of a spell checker that runs on a ppc?

I used to do it that way on my pc until I found "Dynaspell" a great free spell checker application. I’m using "Word" on my ppc right now and will copy and paste to internet explorer... This should work fine.

Me, 24kbps. Dialup. When I get a download speeding along at 3kb/s I am happy. yeay. I am envious..also, but in a hopeful way. I have been online for hmmm...7 yrs, and I am very very patient. My "WiFiMe" actually picked up a signal the other day in a Staples store, an hour and a half away from me. Was a tearful moment. Of course the guy thought I was a freak, huddling beside the PPC display (<cough>) saying "WOOOO!"

At least I know it works :cry:

Zero101,

What service/application is that you used to get your info? It looks a lot more comprehensive than the one I use, which is 2wire or cnet.
