You have
  An HP95?  Do you have any cards for it?  I have an HP200 with a
FAX/Modem/Memory card.  The card has 4meg but I stacked it with Stacker 2.0 and
so now it has 9 meg.  I think after putting everything I need on it, I have
like roughly 2.5 meg left.  :)
 
  I have found it to be most helpful.  I have used the FAX to fax a world
reknowned neurologist while I was in Boston.  I guess I am reknowned enough to
be able to see her.  Rank does have its priveleges, I guess.  Best to use what
you can when you can.  Her waiting list is well over a year long!  :(
 
  I also use the modem to get my internet mail while I am away, which is most
of the time.  I have it all set up so I can get it with a simple DOS terminal
like Procomm or Qmodem.  (I think I have Commo installed in the palmtop.  It
does what I need it to for travels.  And has one very nice travel feature that
the others don't have, even though it is smaller sized.)
 
  Between the HP200 and the PCMCIA card, I have spent very close to exactly
$1,000.00 on the set up.  Best investment I ever made.  I suggest you seriously
consider an upgrade to the 200.  You just can't beat it.  I have a 386 notebook
system and I don't even travel with it anymore.  The HP does all I need.  And
more.  Plus it is lighter weight.  Good for old shoulder.  :)

P.S.  I am happy to report that even after about a year with Stacker, I have
had *no* problems with the memory.  :)
