Question Looking to get a few modules

This past February, I recieved a Visor Deluxe from my Dad after he upgraded to the Visor Platinum. Since then he has gave me a Thinmodem after he upgraded to the Thinmodem Plus and Tiger Woods Golf as some thing to play while I am on my trip to Arizona. Now that I have made enough money, I am thinking about get a few Springboard modules. I don't want to spend more than 300 dollars and I want to get as many modules as I can get for that. Below is my ranking for the ones I am thinking of getting. I was wondering what experiences you have had with these, whether you would consider I change the order of my ranking, or whether I should be weary of any of them. Of course I am not going to get ALL of these but certainly the top 5 or so. Thanks!

1. Backup & 8MB Flash Module from Hagiwara or 16 MB Step-Up Flash Module
2. M-W Dictionary
3. PowerOne Graph
4. V-Rally
5. Eyemodule
6. Memplug with 16MB SMC
7. Visor GameFace Joystick (not a module but still very cool
8. dbNow Deluxe
9. Total Recall Digital Voice Recorder
10. InnoPak /2V

Add the MiniJam in there as well but at the bottom due to the price.

Get a Stowaway first. Couple that with your thinmodem, and your Visor has become a laptop computer.

The HS Backup module should be the first. You can't be with out a backup.

Also, don't waste your money on the original Eyemodule. Spend the extra bucks and buy the EM2. The EM1's pics are useless and horrible. The EM2 creates useable pictures that can be used for many purposes. I had the EM1 for about 1 day and returned it. It was cute and all, but not worth the money. When EM2 came out, I bought it to try and ended up keeping it. Neither is "digital camera quality" but great for taking quick pics. I took 125 pics on a 4 day vacation to Tennessee. I couldn't do that with a regular camera. Now I want a real digital camera.

Have fun!!

I am borrowing a Stowaway for the summer. I really like it so maybe I will get my own. I use it with Wordsmith which works great. As far as the EM2 goes, cost maybe the limiting factor on that. If I decide that all I really want or need is 2 or 3 modules, then I may get the EM2 or the MiniJam.

On the HS Backup module, how would you compare that to the Hagiwara 8MB backup/flash module? I would think that the latter would be a better solution for that. Also, I remember reading something about how the Stepup flash module can also be used as a backup module (and it comes in a 16MB variety allow equal space for backup and flash).

Any of them can be used for backup purposes but the HS backup module is so simple and straight forward. Al you do is insert the module and the software comes up. Press the big button that appears on the screen and it starts working. The flash modules you'll have to have more keystrokes to get it to backup everything. Yes, you could use them for backup or storage but I like having a single module for backup purposes and then a module for storage of other programs. I actually have a HS 8meg flash module (I never use it) and a backup module. That's just the way I like it.
