Riverman,

yes, I probably could. But then again I probably couldn't, if I
wanted to do some work, because I need all my tools and all the
processing power.

I regularly use a lot of software that isn't available for PDAs.

But I may be the exception. For most people a PDA may be a very
good solution.

On the other hand, who cares about the load? I don't travel with
a backpack, I always have the jeep. No problems there either. On
game drives I leave the laptop in the lodge, when I stay in one.
