PalmPilot etiquette
If Miss Manners was a guy writing an etiquette column, this would be it. Slightly politically incorrect. Slightly in poor taste. But containing things you just gotta know: Can a PalmPilot bring down an airliner if you loose at PilotChess? If you've managed to get a woman to give you her number, will she regret it while you fumble with Graffiti? If you draw pictures of M&M's in DinkyPad while in a business meeting, will you get caught? Enquiring minds want to know. OK, so Miss Manners might be horrified.
Palm III flash, it's a gas, gas, gas
The Palm III is the hottest new member of the PalmPilot family. Right out of the box, it's got 2MB of onboard memory, double that of the PalmPilot Professional. But the Palm III also includes 2MB of flash memory, used to hold the operating system. In this article, PowerBoard Hostess Claire Pieterek reviews a software product that allows you to gain access to an additional 800K of flash memory to hold applications. You can move up to almost 3MB for fifty bucks!
Mac developers to the rescue
Contributing Editor Jim DeLaHunt again comes to the rescue of Macintosh users in his latest installment of the Macintosh Survival Guide. In this article, Jim showcases some great software packages that improve the HotSync process, make installing applications far less cumbersome, and fix the icons on downloaded PalmPilot files.
How to choose a PalmPilot case
There's a case to be made for using the PalmPilot's original case. But perhaps you want something more rugged, cooler, or more attractive. If so, there are many options for you to choose from. In this comprehensive case study, S. Fred Green takes us through the different types of cases and makes a case for each style. Just in case you wanted to know.
Outliners for the PalmPilot
There are some things you just love, or you don't. Outliners fall into that category. There are some people who couldn't be forced to use an outliner and there are those of us who literally couldn't make it through the day without an outliner's help. In this ruthless product shootout, Contributing Editor Bob Freud sifts through the latest versions of four outliners. You'll have to read the article to see which product was left standing at the end of the day.
Keeping track of car dealer inventory
Geoffrey Bonser takes you inside the secret world of the car dealer in this exclusive report. If you've ever been interested in sales automation tools, or ever wanted to get a leg up on your local car dealer, this article will give you some interesting insights. Maybe you'll start thinking about custom solutions for your own sales department!
