The only other GEOS PDA I know of (wish there were more, but...) is
the Zoomer, which includes PQ in ROM. Maybe there is a legitimate concern
about Ensemble 2.0 users downloading it. More likely, though would
be the scenario of another company developing a GEOS PDA and wanting
PQ on it. It would be hard for Intuit to demand much money for
something that's freely available. It could even be that HP paid
Intuit for PQ, and it's not in ROM due to delivery delays (doubtful,
though, since PQ for the Zoomer's been around...), and HP might wonder
why they're paying Intuit for something Intuit's giving away.

Now, if I could only get Intuit to send me the *cable* I ordered...

Just some rambling...
