  Hi all.  I just joined this list a couple days ago, and this is my first
outgoing message.

  Does anyone know of a cheap pocket modem which will work with both the
Zoomer & the Mac?  9600 baud at least?  US Robotics has one for the PowerBook
that would be ideal (assuming it works with the Zoomer), but it costs $259 or
so.
  I'm not sold on PCMCIA modems because I will probably use my slot for more
memory eventually.

  Also, does anyone know if it's possible to read E-texts on the Zoomer?  If
not, is anyone working on making this possible?

  Last (but not least), when is the Mac connectivity kit going to be
available?  Alternatively, is there any way I can access the Pocket Quicken
data if I, say, e-mailed the file to myself on AOL and downloaded it on the
Mac?  Is it an open file type or some cryptic file system that requires that
you buy yet another product to make it useful?
