Also, will the 5500 sit on that tiny stand while the IR port is lined up?!? Thanks-

went to local best buy] informed that bestbuy does not have a clearance section. Any clearance items are on regular shelves. Price was list $79. Checked computer , not on sale, nor has been recently. Only way price would have been lower is if it was open box, returned merchandise.

Post by: revdjenk on February 19, 2004, 09:02:12 pm: hey all,
maybe my local Erie store is the only one doing this. There were 5 or so on hand last night. This is NOT opened stock, but unopened and new. They seem to be selling out of all PDA stock, also.

Yes, that is the model that is workable with the Z. The stand has 3 clips that hold the Z quite securely in portrait mode. The keyboard\'s IR port is on a moveable arm which you can aim into the Z\'s port, either portrait or in a \"right hand\" landscape mode. LIke I have stated elsewhere, you can work with this in your lap (the keyboard halves have a lock) but it is a little dicey on balancing and typing. A clipboard sized flat object will do just nicely.

Does anyone know another location to download the file?

Thanks!

Someone at the local Best Buy had the Targus on clearance sale by accident! As of today, the keyboards are back at regular price. I did get one for a lucky requester before the price went back up!

Sorry for the false expectation!

God Bless
