Dear Resourceri:
        I was ready to break down and finally buy a PDA, so I went to the Dell
website to choose all the features I wanted.  One of the options they offer is
a barcode scanner!!!???
        OK, I understand why I need a scanner on my circ station and even on
my office computer for cataloging, but what could I do with a barcode
scanner on my PDA?  I immediately got excited about inventory
possibilities, but then realized, without my automation software being
loaded on my PDA (which is not a possibility), what good could it do me?
We just got up and running with Horizon, but that certainly is not PDA
software!
        Is anybody out there using a barcode scanner on their PDA?  If so, for
what purpose?  And with what software?  (Can you tell I'm dying to buy
one, if I could just figure out what to do with it?)    :}
        Thanks for any suggestions, or especially for concrete examples with
specifics!
