PALMPOWER MAGAZINE - JUNE 1999

A first look at the Palm VII
The Palm VII wireless device is now available, but only in the New York area. How cool is it? How much will it cost? If you're paying for each byte you download, will your bills be suddenly huge? Since it only works with Palm's own Palm.Net, will it be too constricting in a free and open Internet world? If you want answers to these questions and more, read this no-holds-barred product review by Contributing Editor Bob Freud.

Running classic interactive text adventures on your Palm device
When Managing Editor Denise Amrich told us her little brother wanted to write an article, our first thought was of how to let the tyke down gently. But Dan Amrich's no ordinary little brother. He's the Associate Editor of GamePro, one of the coolest game magazines on the planet. We're thrilled to be able to offer you Dan's gaming experience in this introduction to text adventure games for your Palm device. Let the productivity-drain begin!

Ideas for recovering from catastrophic data loss
We were recently approached by a concerned father. His daughter, a medical resident destined for Alaska, had lost much of the data on her Palm device. Could we help? We're not a tech support team, but Senior Techical Editor Claire Pieterek sent some suggestions and the caring Dad managed to recover some of the lost data. Might you have a similar problem some day? If so, here are some ideas you might use.

How to share your Palm Desktop among multiple users

PALMPOWER SITE OF THE MONTH
The Gadgeteer
"Wow, that's cool!" Uniformly, this was everyone's first reaction when checking out our Site of the Month for June. If you love gadgets, if you can't resist buying the latest consumer electronics device, then you definitely need to check out The Gadgeteer and learn why it earned our award. Be prepared to drool.

FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
The magic number: $149
There's a new Palm device on the market. In the last few months, we've seen three new devices reach consumers. Breaking from the pack, Editor-in-Chief David Gewirtz makes the case that the big news might not be the newest Palm devices, but that you can buy a plain, ol' fashioned PalmPilot Professional for $149. Do you agree? Read his June editorial and share your opinion on the PowerBoards.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Nostalgic, destructive, and constructive
Here at PalmPower, it's a lot of fun to get letters from readers. In this installment of our semi-regular Letters to the Editor series, we reprint a number of interesting letters. One fellow loves our publication while another is convinced we sold out to the dark side. What fun! We also include a fun dialog about ancient computers with a fellow "old timer" and chat briefly about creating a Palm VII version of PalmPower.
