PALMPOWER MAGAZINE - AUGUST 1999

Using your Palm device with Linux
The Linux operating system user base has been growing by leaps and bounds over the last year. In this article, contributing editor Jason Perlow helps you set up Linux to work with your Palm device, show you how to get HotSync operations working, and explore some tasty desktop solutions.

The story of customer service at Palm Computing, Inc.
Last month, we ran a Letter to the Editor entitled "Will success spoil Palm Computing?" In it, a reader questioned Palm's customer service and support. It sparked a lot of reader postings to the PowerBoards. This month, in a PalmPower Exclusive, representatives from Palm Computing directly address the customer service questions you raised. This is how it's supposed to happen: manufacturers and users in a direct dialog. If you care about your Palm device, you owe it to yourself to read this important article.

E is for�Palm IIIe
This review is brought to you by the letter "e" and the number "III", as in the Palm IIIe, the latest Palm device to hit the streets this year. Senior Technical Editor Claire Pieterek takes a look at the newest Palm devices and lets you know the real story about whether you should hustle out and buy one of these things.

Fredlet's on the case
Fredlet's back on the case with some great cases for your Palm V (and some fine additions for Palm III and PalmPilot protection as well). If you want to keep your Palm all snuggly and safe, read this article.

Get your SF fix from Peanut Press downloadable books
You may have heard of Peanut Press. This company is "reprinting" books in a form that's downloadable to your Palm device. For a few bucks, give or take a little, you can download classic and first run editions to your Palm organizer. This month, Judith Tabron takes us inside Robert Silverberg's The World Within, a great classic SF story she downloaded from Peanut Press.

PALMPOWER SITE OF THE MONTH
A veritable Geek bonanza
What can we say? Geeks must stick together and the UGeek.com site is an ideal place for Geeks to gather and, well, do Geek things. Seriously, UGeek has loads of great information on gadgets, goodies, and things to tinker with and that's why it's our PalmPower Site of the Month.

FROM THE MANAGING EDITOR
The Internet, legality, and you
This month, managing editor Denise Amrich takes a stab at some interesting mail we've been getting. One fellow who lives in France was quite disturbed that PalmPower wasn't written in French. Mon dieu! Seriously, though, Denise provides some interesting resources that'll help you separate fact from fiction in the strange new world of Internet law.
