I've heard nice comments about the HandStand, although I haven't used it.
When I need to take everything out, I use my Apple Newton Briefcase. Has
room for the Newton (obviously) and the keyboard and has multiple
compartments to take PCMCIA cards, pen, etc. You might be able to find one
for auction on eBay from time to time.
As for the upgrade, I did business with David Watson a couple of time and
was completely pleased and satisfied with him. I cannot recommend him
enough. He's very professional and quick to do the job. The upgrade is much
needed and you'll appreciate every dollar of it.
