UPDATES:

A couple months ago, I tried Power Digi and was fairly happy with it. In the last couple weeks, even it is not doing that much good for me.

In the last few days the card reader is acting up. Even without changing anything, it will stop reading a card, and it takes a near-magical series of removals, reinsertions, and resets to get it to read again. I am getting rather fed up!

Palm fascinates me. Their up-and-down responsiveness is fascinating- as long as it is happening to someone else.

I have basically given up on their service department. The last two times I used them, the problems just popped back up within weeks and I basically wasted the time and money.

I am planning to try the glass digitizer and a new battery- but for now, I am happy that we have SOME solution!

A related fix- a freebie thankfully- is PowerBtn to take care of my non-functioning on/off switch.

Claire- I like the board version as well. you may want to give the original Traffic Jam from eSoft a try- it really is well done. I would have reviewed it, but it has been around a while and been reviewed before.

e-format whenever possible. I would whack out of I lost the ability to do most of my casual reading on my Palm Tx, and we have been cutting off our magazines one by one.

Instead of paper subscriptions, we have been using the library, Internet, various forms of podcasts, etc.

It would be nice if more of the magazines did e-versions- magazines must account for huge volumes of trash and chemicals in the inks every year.

While not Julie, I appreciate your comments!

One of my kids does pub quizzes here in the Midwest US frequently- funny team names and all. She was moderately interested in the lists but is one of those unfortunate people that does not particularly like e-devices.

As for Darth, in the actual costumes,...

  • voiced by James Earl Jones in ep. 4-6
  • played by Hayden Christensen in ep. 3 ... am I missing one?
