What Springboard should I get? Keep in mind I'd love a wireless, but I have no steady source of income, and I live in Albuquerque. Tell me which you think is best!

Backup Module
A backup Module should be your very first Springboard module! Its relatively cheap, practical, and can save you a lot of grief.

Ditto! Don't forget to use it, and don't store it in/with the Visor!

thincom modem
I love my thincomm modem, I can get a free ISPO account and dial in to the internet anyhwre. I also sync. w/my desktop PC anywhere, so I don;t need a backup module so much. On the minus side, it drains my AAA's really quickly.

What's the difference between the backup and the 8 MB Springboard? Are they the same thing?

They are different. I would recomend the backup module. If you visor crashes (god forbid) it will restore EVERYTHING completely, from the last time you backed up. The 8 meg module will just grant you additional space to store programs and data. Go backup style.

Why store separately?

Why not keep the Backup module in my visor?

Don't leave the backup module in your Visor because if your Visor is stolen or falls into a lake or meets with some other mischief, so will the module.
If you have the module in your pocket/backpack/drawer, losing the Visor means just getting a new Visor and restoring from the module!
(Sorry for the delay. I didn't see your question until now.)

Aha, good points. I guess I could've figured that out myself the hard way--but I'm glad I didn't!!
