Concluding the "Help a Fellow Geek Out" Event: Thanks Everyone!
We've wrapped things up with helping Kenn, and I'm very pleased with how it turned out. The Pocket PC Thoughts community donated $325 USD to put toward getting Kenn a new Pocket PC with WiFi! :way to go: I'm deeply proud of everyone who kicked in a few bucks - it was so amazing to see the flow of generosity. Next, I gave Kenn a $100 Handango gift certificate, so he can pick up some new software. I also had some $100 Vaja gift certificates I've been keeping for prizes, so I gave Kenn one - so he'll be able to get a sexy Vaja case for his new Pocket PC. 8)
To round out Ken's gear, our friends at Tek 'n Toys have donated a Microsoft MN-500 wireless gateway/firewall. This will allow Ken to share his new high-speed connection with all his computers, including a new Pocket PC, and be secure behind a hardware firewall. Have a speedy recovery Kenn, and enjoy your new gear!

This is great! I really like the sense of community that PPCT provides. Wish I could have helped out this time, but was not possible.  Kenn, sorry to hear about the difficult time you're having. Heal soon!

Just by being a member of this community and helping others, you're doing exactly what Kenn was complimenting us on in his original message. :way to go: Everyone helps in their own way!

Uh...no. I think you missed the point - Kenn never asked for anything at any point.
