And this, years before Palm put quick-charge batteries in their PDAs.
I'm very, very impressed. :D I no longer refer to my Newton as a
PDA...it's now a "palmtop computer" whereas everything else is just a
PDA. :)
One more question I've thought up. Does the 2x00 have a backup battery
like the 1x0 series? And if so, how do I replace this? And if not, what
happens if I pull the battery out... do I lose any of my data?
Thanks.

Yup - it only takes a few minutes to fully charge - life is good.
