How to spend $200

I just got $200 as a sort of unplanned gift. I have thought about different things that I could do with it and decided to just spend it on something for my visor. With all the options out there, I decided to ask for some opinions from all the VC "experts" out there. All I have at the moment is the 8MB flash module. So here's the question: How to best spend the $200. I have pondered a GPS module, Thinmodem+ and the Stowaway keyboard, but what do you guys think?

Handspring modem at Amazon.com -$40
Wordsmith 2.0 - $30

I recently had the same problem. I had 300 dollars and I ended up getting an Eyemodule2 and a Hagiwara 8MB flash memory module. With two hundred dollars, and based on what you don't have, I would get:

1. Wordsmith AND Stowaway Keyboard. Each enhances the usefulness of the other greatly.
2. The handspring modem. Not the best modem out there but for $40 and you don't have a modem, who can resist.

You should have 30 dollars left to get backup buddy from Blue Nomad.

These will probably cost more than 200 dollars with the shipping of the Handspring modem and the keyboard.

Consider spending at least some small part of it on registering some of the shareware you're using.

That's where at least part of my IRS "rebate" thing is going, and perhaps a Stowaway.
