I just found an old Jornada that I have never really used but my fiance wants to start using it. It works great with most applications but its Operating System is 2000. Is it possible to upgrade to 2003? If so how?

I think the age-old saying "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" applies to this scenario. Chances are the hardware in the Jornada you have was designed to run on the 2000 version. If it is possible, there may be compatibility issues between the hardware and operating system in the 2003 version. Just imagine installing Windows XP on a 4-5 year old computer.

Heck, there's software only a year or two old that's not compatible with Service Pack 2.

If you look up the model # on HP's web site there may be an up date for it.
