I got quite a shock tonight. My Tungsten|T has been “dimming” on me over the last couple months, which I remedied by turning the brightness all the way to the top. I finally decided to call Palm, when I noticed that my battery life wasn’t all that it used to be, either. Guess what, all

If you are like me, always adding programs to your Palm then taking them off after trying them for a bit, then you probably have a lot of garbage left on your PDA that you are not even aware of…lurking there…taking up space. I use Cleanup to take care of these things. You might want

I just got my new metal-clip SportBrain! YAY! Some of you may remember Julie’s and my joint review on this service a couple years ago, and you might also remember the bad news that SportBrain had eventually gone out of business. Well, they are back – and it looks like btter than ever! If you

One of my uncle’s favorite hobbies, while he was alive, was researching our family’s genealogy and history. Evidently he enlisted people from all over the country to aid him in his quest, and while he was alive he compiled a nice thick record of our history back into the 1700s. It gets a little murkey
