Can a handheld replace a laptop?
Are your chiropractor bills getting out of hand because you've been lugging around a bulky laptop and its assorted paraphernalia?

Palm's little instruction book
It's one of life's great mysteries why books written about something as compact and convenient as the Palm device turn out being so big and unwieldy.

Denise Watkins reviews this handy book that acts as a friendly introduction to the world of Palm computing.
