Plug and Pray is a Pro??  I thought it was tha bane of computers!

I'm one to refuse to buy a Plug and pray item until the manufacturers can

Problem with WinCE - you'd have to use an existing platform such as a PDA.
Microsloth wont give out the source code so you can re-compile for a
different platform. Besides one can get a working linux system in the same
memory size as Win CE - there are linux systems that fit on a floppy with
network and routing software!  than there is always mini-linux.
