Hi,
I have just purchased an Ipaq 5550 from Ebay (what a great bit of kit!) but
it doesn't have the companion cd. I already own Office 2003 & can download
Active Sync & user manuals etc - is there any need to get the companion cd?
If so, how do I do this in the UK?

thanks for any help

Mark

Beyond some of the freebies, ie. like Resco Explorer, that are nice to have without paying, you
really don't need the CD. Outlook 2002 comes on the CD, but your already running Office (w/Outlook)
2003 so that part is taken care of... Personally I would not worry about it. It would probably be
hard to get anyway...

Look at this site for downloads of updates, etc...
